Didn't the USSR which spanned 7 time zones observe only Moscow time in the country?
Never too old to have a happy childhood!
I thought Russia had time zones but China, also quite large, has but one.

There were (and still are) 11 time zones in Russia (former Soviet Union).

IIRC even though there were multiple time zones across Russia the Trans Siberian Express operated on Moscow time over its entire route.
