Bad news. A globalist organization that suits the few in the West and puts the developing nations trade laws into an elite few to decide. Russia has been developing without the WTO and done very well on its own by using normal bilateral trade agreements. To enter the Western game is to restrain your own sovereignty by their playing rules. Why don't they just privatize the whole nation and sell it in parcel to highest Western bidders so they can hedge themselves on the crisis and let the us suffer as always. All the other oil producing nations, the people have wealth, here the oligarchs do. WTO will NOT HELP. The politics of the past few years are an utter failure.

Who delayed the Russian admission to the US founded WTO? US itself, until it extracted every possible concession from Russia. The same scenario was executed on China and Vietnam. On the other hand, how long will the WTO last? As long as NATO? What happened to globalization and free markets will be happening to WTO. Evderybody for himself or the US will take you down with its sinking ship.

@ George Lowe, it may be more that the pessimists here fear history will repeat itself. Echoes of the Cold War and earlier imperial shenanigans still reverberate in the comments section of various news blogs when they are not really admitted in the mainstream news broadcasts or on the front page. I am American too and I wonder what good the WTO will do for Russia. There will be benefits but also costs. I hope it works out for them.
