Working across Moscow and Istanbul

Moscow and Istanbul share banking as core industries, which is where the traffic between them comes from. There is no time difference at all; the working days simply have to line up.

Both cities work Monday to Friday, Moscow typically 09:00–18:00 and Istanbul 09:00–18:00 local time. Watch for the New Year holidays (1–8 January) and Victory Day (9 May) in Moscow and Ramadan Feast (end of Ramadan, three days) and Sacrifice Feast (four days, roughly 70 days later) in Istanbul. Replies slow in Moscow during the first ten days of January and the May holidays and in Istanbul during the Sacrifice Feast week.

With no gap to bridge, the whole office day is available on both sides; only the holidays above need checking. Neither city observes daylight saving, so the gap holds all year.
