>Description:
The problem is that in 7.X and 8.X (except CURRENT 8-STABLE) Olsons timezone database for Europe is obsolete. 
I have found current version 8.33 only in RELENG_8.
This spring Russian government had canceled Daylight saving time.
So if you are still using 7.X or 8.0, 8.1, 8.2 in Russia, this fall you will definitely have problems with you timezone.
Whole country will stay with UTC+4 and you will back to winter time UTC+3. That is not good at all =)

Please update share/zoneinfo in src and add new /usr/share/zoneinfo/ files in binary update. 
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
1) Download new europe version from ftp://elsie.nci.nih.gov/pub/ or from RELENG_8 to /usr/src/share/zoneinfo/
2) cd /usr/src/share/zoneinfo/
4) make clean; make install
5) (if it's needed) 
cp /usr/share/zoneinfo/Europe/Moscow /etc/localtime

State-Changed-Why:  
Hello, although your idea sounds OK, we do not update the 8.x branches 
after they had been released unless it's for security. So that means 
that indeed 8-STABLE (RELENG_8( will receive these updates but not 
8.0,8.1 etc. (unless it's a new version and the releng_8 version is 
already OK). You can however always merge the 8_stable information to 
your local system and update it, as you mention in your report. Thank 
you for the report and trying to make freeBSD beter

 Or use misc/zoneinfo port.
