Amid some fanfare, PepsiCo opened its largest bottling plant in the world last week in Domodedovo, on the southern outskirts of Moscow.

The opening came immediately after US President Barack Obama's visit to Moscow, and a day before the 50th anniversary of Pepsi coming to the Soviet Union. Exactly 50 years earlier, then-CEO Donald Kendall personally helped hand out 3 millions cups of Pepsi to visitors at the American National Exhibition in Moscow, and Nikita Khrushchev was said to have downed several cups of the drink."
