Orenburg does not change its clocks
A fixed offset, all year round
Orenburg stays on Yekaterinburg Standard Time at UTC+05:00 every day of the year. There is no spring-forward or fall-back here, which puts it with the majority: most of the world's time zones do not observe daylight saving.
That sounds like it makes scheduling simpler, and locally it does — but it introduces a different trap for anyone working with Orenburg from a country that does change clocks. The offset between you and Orenburg is not constant: it changes when your clocks move, even though nothing changed here. A recurring call that has run at the same local time for months will shift by an hour, from your side, without anyone editing the invite.

Dates in the next year where the difference shifts, by counterpart city

Clock time versus solar time
When the clock in Orenburg reads 12:00, the sun is not yet overhead — the civil clock runs 1 hour 20 minutes ahead of mean solar time here. That is a substantial gap, and it is the reason daily rhythms in Orenburg can feel shifted relative to the clock: sunrise, lunch and sunset all arrive later in clock terms than the number suggests.
