Hi,

What about updates for timezone concerning changes in  
Russia(Moscow)/Belarus(Minsk) and some other (DST is removed from them)?

Ok.  
Russia timezones are fixed. What about Europe/Minsk (Berarus)?

The timezone packages contain the zdump utility, which allows you to  
show the tz information about any timezone that is listed in

# rpm -ql timezone

Of interest to you would probably be the output of

# zdump -v Europe/Minsk

The timezone update released a week ago contains the updates of tzdata  
2011j.

Hope this helps
