A memorial bench dedicated to Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny has been set on fire in Helsinki. Yle News reported that the bench had been unveiled last week in a city park, where it can be seen from the windows of the nearby Russian embassy.

The location gave the memorial a clear political edge from the start, and the fire has now added a new layer of tension around it. It is still unclear who was behind the incident or how extensive the damage was.
