I heard that Soviet Union produced "Baikal" as analog of Pepsi
Both Pepsi and Coke at one moment were produced in "Veldze" factory in Riga, not far from where I lived back then. AFAIK, only factory ever that has simultaneously bottled both Pepsi and Coke at the same time. And they actually continued to produce Pepsi till some mid-1990s.
With Pepsi there was a deal - USSR gets Pepsi, Pepsi get rights to Stolichnaya vodka in the West.
