Processing of astronomical observational data of several time services and the publication of Universal Time of emission of time signals has been carried out in the USSR continuously for fifty years. Currently the Universal Time computations are made in the USSR State Time and Frequency Service using the observational data of eleven Soviet time services and ten time services of socialist countries that have volunteered to participate. The functioning of this system simultaneously with the BIH system that unites time services from all over the world has certain practical advantages. The Soviet Universal Time scale UT1 (SU) may be influenced by some geophysical effects which are characteristic of the Eurasian continent, and consequently, it may be used advantageously for scientific and practical purposes in this region. The agreement between different time scales, produced by various methods and observational data, also makes it possible to evaluate the reliability of these scales.
