Time difference between Moscow and Los Angeles

Los Angeles is 10 hours behind Moscow

Moscow, Russia is UTC+3 · Los Angeles, the United States is UTC−8 — on standard time

The gap is not the same all year

Every converter gives one number for this pair. That number is right for most of the year and wrong for part of it, because Moscow does not change its clocks and Los Angeles goes forward on the second Sunday in March and back on the first Sunday in November.

Moscow stays put all year while Los Angeles moves, so the gap changes twice a year from Los Angeles's side alone. A recurring meeting set in Moscow's calendar will drift by an hour without anyone touching it.

When they can both be at their desks

Nine-to-five in Moscow and nine-to-five in Los Angeles do not overlap at all. With 10 hours between them, one side is always outside working hours, and the practical question is which side takes the early start or the late finish rather than when to meet.
