In the US in the 1970s, but more recently in Russia as well:

Note that, as your sources state, Russia tried permanent DST and changed to permanent standard time instead.

They didn't revert back to a system of switching between DST and ST annually.

Yeah but now everyone has cell phones and LED street lights that sometimes feel brighter than the sun.

It's worth trying again, it's not like it can't be reverted again.
