I don't know anything that might help with your problem, other than to
tell you that London is at GMT (GMT stands for Greenwich Mean Time;
Greenwich is a city in England); Moscow is further east.  In any case,
setting your TZ to the wrong one doesn't sound like the right approach
to take.

London is at GMT _at_ _the_ _moment_; we change to GMT+1 for the summer.

GMT is the standard timezone against which all others are measured --
the '-0800' in your Date: header shows that you're currently 8 hours
behind GMT. If you ignore the odd second here and there and some
pedantry, GMT is also known as 'Coordinated Universal Time' or UTC.

(Actually they're not _quite_ the same thing but they're close enough
that if you don't know the difference it'll never affect you).
