Hosting a party of Russian sports management MBA students from Moscow State University Moscow State University, at Moscow, Russia, officially M. V. Lomonosov Moscow State Univ.; founded 1755 as Moscow Univ. by the Russian scientist M. V. Lomonosov, renamed Moscow State Univ. after the Russian Revolution, and renamed after its founder in 1940. last week, the firm challenged them to a football skills challenge and a vodka-tasting session. The students were visiting the UK to learn more about the the football industry here, but the vodka aficionados felt no trip to Merseyside would be complete without a visit to the people behind Red Square Vodka. It is unclear whether the football skills competition took place before the vodka-tasting session, or after.
