I am sure that this is purely coincidental, but the color scheme used by the
Irkutsk State Technical University has a strong similarity to that of the Most
Serene Republic of San Marino! The flag layout is different, but the shade of
blue used on both flags seems very similar.

Kazan Federal University was formerly the Kazan State
University.
The Kazan Imperial University was chartered in November
1804 by Emperor Alexander I. It was renamed in 1925 after Vladimir Ulyanov
Lenin, who studied Law at the university. The status of Federal University was
granted in 2010 by the Russian government.
Kazan University has been the
place of major scientific breakthroughs. The Polish linguist Jan Niecislaw
Baudouin de Courtenay (1845-1929) founded the Kazan Linguistic School,
pioneering the study of oriental languages and cultures in Europe. The Baltic
German chemist Karl Ernst Claus (1796-1864) discovered in 1844 a new chemical
element that he named ruthenium (symbol, Ru; atomic number, 44), the Latin name
of Russia. The mathematician Nikolai Lobachevsky (1792-1856), former Rector of
the university, developed the non-Euclidean, hyperbolic geometry that would be
named for him.
The Kazan Department of the Soviet Academy of Science was founded in Kazan in
1945 by physicists evacuated form Moscow and Leningrad, including Vitaly
Ginzburg (1916-2009; Nobel Prize in Physics, 2003), Pyotr Kapitsa (1894-1984;
Nobel Prize in Physics, 1978), Igor Tamm (1895-1971; Nobel Prize in Physics in
1958) and Lev Landau (1908-1968; Nobel Prize in Physics, 1962). Kazan State
University was inscribed in 1996 to the Register of Cultural Heritage Sites of
the Russian Federation.

It has recently been renamed "Kazan (Volga region) Federal University" /
Казанский (Приволжский) федеральный университет. The logo has changed accordingly and presumably the flag as well, if it is still in use.

Нижегородский государственный университет им. Н.И. Лобачевского (ННГУ) (English:
Nizhny Novgorod (State) University (UNN) N.I. Lobachevsky , also known as
Lobachevsky University, was established on January 17, 1916 as one of the three
initial Народных университетов России (English: People's Universities of
Russia). The first idea of establishing the University first arose in 1896, when
the city was preparing for the opening of the XVI Всероссийской художественной и
промышленной выставки (English: XVI All-Russian art and industrial exhibition) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All-Russia_Exhibition_1896).
On the wave of revolutionary reforms in 1905, at a meeting of the City Duma on
October 19, the City Head of AM. Memorial suggested organizing a People's
University in Nizhny Novgorod.
On March 28, 1918 it became the first
State Higher Educational Institution of Soviet Russia as proclaimed by the
Губернский исполком (English: Provincial Executive Committee (of
Nizhny Novgorod) later, on May 22. Then, on June 28 the
closure of the политехнического института (English: Polytechnic Institute (in
Nizhny Novgorod)) was transformed into a State University properly. From 1932 to
March 20, 1956, its name was State University of Gorky (http://www.unn.ru/site/about/news/60-let-so-dnya-prisvoeniya-nizhegorodskomu-gosudarstvennomu-universitetu-imeni-n-i-lobachevskogo)
– from 1932 to 1990 the city of Nizhny Novgorod was known as Gorky – and from
March 20, 1956, through Указом Президиума Верховного совета РСФСР (English:
Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR) (http://www.unn.ru/site/images/history/decree-1956.jpg
in an
effort headed by А.А. Андронов (English: AA. Andronov) and from 1956 to
1990 the Lobachevsky State University of Gorky after great Russian mathematician
Nikolai Lobachevsky."

Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky (1792-1856), Professor at the University of Kazan
(1822), is best known for the formal definition and exploration of the
non-Euclidian hyperbolic geometry. His views were so outrageously innovative
that the venerable St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences refused the publication of
his seminal paper "A concise outline of the foundations of geometry".

Valentin Poposki has ferreted out the web site of Lomonosov Moscow State
University, which has the university's flags. The url for the
university is http://www.msu.ru/info,
and the site is multilingual. The site
is very well designed and presented, and in fact if it were not for
the .ru designator one might almost think that it belonged to one of
those American universities which use MSU as an abbreviation, such as
Michigan State University, Mississippi State University, Morehead State
University (KY), etc.

At
http://omsu.ru/bitrix/templates and
https://commons.wikimedia.org we
can see the logo of Omsk Dostoyevski State University, which is a rendition
of its abbreviated name – "ОмГУ" (full official name in
Russian
Омский
государственный университет имени Ф. М. Достоевского; incorporated as
Федеральное государственное автономное образовательное учреждение высшего
образования "Омский государственный университет имени
Ф. М. Достоевского" –
ФГАОУ ВО ОмГУ).
In this logo, the four letterforms are mishapen in
non-calligraphic nor typographic fanciful ways to suggest, I presume, the
variety of offered courses or some such. The letter "Г" ("G") is rendered as
a flag pole hoisting a flying horizontal tricolor flag – very likely meant as
a rendition of the national flag. As the logo is monochromatic,
shown as light blue on white, the three stripes on the flag are shown by
means of two thin background-colored lines, in a sort of Gambian-style triband.
