Best overlap: 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Moscow is 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM in Boston.
If you set up a recurring sync, 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM in Moscow (8:00 AM to 11:00 AM in Boston) is the natural home for it. Around 3 hours of overlap is enough to work comfortably, as long as meetings don't drift to the end of one team's day. Keep an eye on the calendar — Boston observes daylight saving and Moscow doesn't, which nudges this window by an hour twice a year.
