Test case for Belarus abandoning DST in September of 2011, timezone for the test is "Europe/Minsk":

Incorrect result with 2011j showing active DST transitions for Russia in 2011 in both March and October:

$ zdump -v Europe/Minsk | grep 2011
Europe/Minsk Sat Mar 26 23:59:59 2011 UTC = Sun Mar 27 01:59:59 2011 EET isdst=0 gmtoff=7200
Europe/Minsk Sun Mar 27 00:00:00 2011 UTC = Sun Mar 27 03:00:00 2011 EEST isdst=1 gmtoff=10800
Europe/Minsk Sat Oct 29 23:59:59 2011 UTC = Sun Oct 30 02:59:59 2011 EEST isdst=1 gmtoff=10800
Europe/Minsk Sun Oct 30 00:00:00 2011 UTC = Sun Oct 30 02:00:00 2011 EET isdst=0 gmtoff=7200

Correct result with 2011k showing the October transition has been removed (note that the March transition remains for historical purposes):

$ zdump -v Europe/Minsk | grep 2011
Europe/Minsk Sat Mar 26 23:59:59 2011 UTC = Sun Mar 27 01:59:59 2011 EET isdst=0 gmtoff=7200
Europe/Minsk Sun Mar 27 00:00:00 2011 UTC = Sun Mar 27 03:00:00 2011 FET isdst=0 gmtoff=10800
