compare russia length to china's (and u.s.)

compare russia length to china's (and u.s.)
as the year 2021 is ending, very soon, the number will increase to 2022,  new year will begin at 12am in each time zone. russia has many time zones so when we see a map of china, on the FAT part of the globe, and compare russia [on thinner part] to china, then russia certainly SEEMS much longer, on some maps it SEEMS double length and on time zone maps from east tip we can count 7 time zones compared to only one in china but truly the difference is much less. so how much? in terms of time zones we take 360 degrees of sphere and have 24 time zones each zone is 15 degrees of sphere. from the east point of russia which is narrow at 169 west, westward to 180 and to st. petersberg at 30 east that is MANY degrees of thin time zones. 11+150=161 enough for 11 eleven narrow time zones. 
each point 15 degrees apart COULD start the new yearr one hour later despite the solar cycle in 2 more days "birth of added light" in the majority land for you humans that need land and light but have difficulty in water and darkness, for those reasons land and light cause the date called december 23 so i need to add a day to the twelfth month to start 1/1 with the solar cycle]
russia's length of eleven NARROW time zones in contrast to u.s. "only" FOUR fat time zones of 55 degrees, kuz boston 71 until cape alava on west at 125=55 degrees is not truly double. i am not denying russia is longer than CHINA i just want to FIX  the misconception: by how much longer?
china length is 4200 kilometer [as explained later] while russia from east tip to saint peterberg along the thin part of globe is 4800 kilometrs. in fact at that latitude of the thin part of the globe 66 degreees north the circumference is 10,681 km and from there to 30 degrees east only 4776 km, and since s.p. is s.w. the hypotenuse is 4800 km very far from double china's 4200. that russian hypotenuse from the tip to the baltic coast, is only 6% longer than the hypotenuse in u.s. at worldatlas website miles that are 4500 km. 
if russia would accept the greenwich lines then moscow and s.p. would be an additional time zone beside volgograd from longitude 7 until 37 is two time zones so east of 37 is a different time zone.
conclusion: we see the one time zone of china at the fat part of the globe is around NINETY percent of russia length.
both kashgar in west china and shanghai in east will have midnight simultaneously. in contrast cape dez' will enter 2022 at its midnight four hours earlier, when china calls 8pm. 
magadan on the south coast has a separate narrow time zone.151,60 this is a flaw considering 7 until 157 is ten zones 150/15=10, so 151e is in tenth tenth zone so should be +10 not +11 instead better like vladivostok.
next yakutzk 129e, 9 hours sooner than briton and 6 hours before moscow.
next irkutzk and china reach 12 am.
china's 4200 hypotenuse from shanghai across to 75e, 39n is less than u.s. by 300 km ergo as above that russian hypotenuse only 6% longer than u.s.'s and only seems much longer due to map distortion.
moscow and s.p. reach 12am simultaniusly with volgograd as above. 
anyway regardless of WHICH city we can celebrate each hour from british 11am of december 31, when new zealand enters 2022 13 hours before briton. and each hour another time zone enters 2022. i will need the whole bottle of champagne!
13 nz, 12 dez', 11mag', 10 vlad' but see above, 9 yak' 8 china, 7,6,5,4, volgograd +3 at 44e, but moscow flaw +3 kuz 7.5+30 includes moscow in zone 2 like jerusalem +2, norway at 10 degrees east +1 kuz 7+15=22 but sofia bulgaria 23 like jerusalem 35e.
at 7a in jerusalem u.s. enters 2022, and each hour for four zones as above and then alaska too -9 and one hour later hawaii reaches 12am.
