Andrei Nekrasov is a Russian documentary filmmaker whose work has often taken a sharply critical approach to the current government in Russia (including a Cannes-award winning doc on the Litvinenko case).  He’s been published several times on this blog, is a friend of Bob Amsterdam, and recently suffered the passing of his wife and co-producer Olga Konskaya.

A few days ago we heard that his home in Finland was broken into and violently vandalized – the second time such an incident has taken place.  There is fair reason to believe that the assault on the property is related to a new film he has coming out.  Anyways, without further ado, here is the brief note that Andrei sent us detailing the incident (which was also covered by the Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat).
