You mean 330mL? They don't make many beers in that size in Russia. You could get Tinkoff in 330mL - it's quite famous. There's a Tinkoff restaurant in Kazan - see the bottom of this page:

And the Tinkoff website:

Otherwise, I guess Baltika is the most famous beer and Russky Standard is one of the best-known vodkas.

I understand.So,you don't have 0,33 beers there?That's strange...What you drink in discoteques,clubs?Here in clubs you get small beer,0,33,Jelen,Lav,Tuborg,Becks,those are standard beers...

So,let me get this straihgt:

Serbs have Jelen.
Mexicans have Corona.
Danish people have Tuborg,Carlsberg,etc.
Germans have Becks etc.
Czech people have Pilsner Urquell and Budweiser...

And you have Baltika?


And,can i buy it on local,small markets,0,33?What is the price of beer there,anyway?In euros and cents?

Everything is in bottles like 0.5l or more. Russia is a bigger country, thus they require bigger bottles.
Canada, we sell bottles 341ml and cans of 355ml or more, but they are sold in units of six.
Last I was there, it was 20 roubles or 0.80 $
Better beer is over a dollar. Recommend Balitka 7 or 3.

There is a lot ghetto beer there, high malt for alcohol, low quality and large sizes so you can share with your friends when drink outside near garbage can

There are 0.5 and 0.33 bottles of beer ...
0.33 oriented on women and can be found in any supermarket, but i recommend "Baltika-7" or Tuborg 0.5 litres ...
