Is there any such thing as Russian beer, or is Vodka really the only spirit over there?

There are many local beer brands, but almost none are exported.

Why is Russia still not a member nation of the WTO? They gave up the whole command economy earlier than the Chinese did but China got admitted in 2001. What will it take to bring them into GATT and the WTO?

Joining WTO isn't something that is beneficial for a country that depends on unsophisticated exports.
