If i'm not mistaken, you must be in Russia which is 7 hours ahead of UTC. So, the server that you use must be using the UTC time which in my opinion is a good thing.
I personally prefer to save times in UTC time in the data base and then convert them to the local time in the front end.

from django.utils import timezone
from datetime import datetime

teg1 = Teg1(created_at=datetime.now(tz=timezone.utc)
teg1.save()

However, if you want to save the datetime in your local time, you can use:

from datetime import datetime    
import pytz

novosibirsk = pytz.timezone("Asia/Novosibirsk")
now = datetime.now(novosibirsk)
teg1 = Teg1(created_at=now)
teg1.save()

Have in mind that in your admin interface, you might see the time and date based on the timezone you select in your settings.py. However, the data saved in the database is still in UTC time.
