Why does django return date always in UTC?

Question

Django

Please tell me why django returns date in utc regardless of settings:

LANGUAGE_CODE = 'ru-ru'
TIME_ZONE = 'Europe/Moscow'
USE_I18N = True
USE_L10N = True
USE_TZ = True

in response, the date comes in the form "created_at": "2021-03-04T23:23:20.259860+00:00"

Answer 1

Look towards the bd. How is the date stored there?

Answer 2

because dates are stored in UTC and are converted to the desired time zone when output

{% load tz %}

{{ value|localtime }}

{% localtime on %}
    {{ value }}
{% endlocaltime %}
