Same rules apply to any university that is not a name brand.
It doesn't matter if it's Edinburgh University, University of Moscow or anything else if you have a degree from a school like that almost nobody cares about your degree.
Every university in the world produces some amazing people from time to time, but their awesomeness is always backed by something else than their degree. What those east European universities are good at is producing TopCoder winners and that's the 'credential' that gets those people jobs at Google.
