Finland's Ovi

Molodaya Gvardiya (Young Guard), the youth wing of the leading United Russia party, has entered Atlet, a brand of cheese, and Gefilus yoghurts on its blacklist in St Petersburg. 

Both products are made by Finnish dairy group Valio in Estonia.

Representatives of the Young Guard on Monday posted a list of products to be boycotted on the fence of Estonia’s consulate in St Petersburg.

The boycott is a protest against the relocation of a Soviet second world war memorial away from central Tallinn.

Most of the products Valio exports to Russia are made in Estonia.
