Russia and WTO membership -- why is it still outside?

I have never understood why we continually block Russian entry to the World Trade Organization.

Their human rights record? Then why is China in, and why was it admitted several years ago?

Problems with copyright issues and pirated goods? Please. Beijing is the rankest of offenders.

Russian agricultural barriers? Japan has been in the WTO for how long?
