Why people convert GST to Moscow time

Scheduling a call from GST to Moscow: a 10:00 AM start in GST lands at 9:00 AM in Moscow, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Finding shared working hours: both GST and Moscow are inside the 9-to-5 working day between 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM GST time (9:00 AM–4:00 PM MSK). That is roughly 7 hours of usable overlap.
Watching a live event or market open: GST viewers need 8:00 AM in Moscow to catch a 9:00 AM start there, and 1:00 AM if the event is anchored to GST.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM GST" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a -1h gap is not.
Block 10:00 AM–5:00 PM GST as the recurring meeting window if you work primarily from GST and need Moscow colleagues present.
