A twisted historian unearthed around 150 burial sites to dress the bodies of young girls for birthday parties and read them fairytales. Anatoly Moskvin, a seemingly reputable academic in Russia, had a dark secret. In 2011, authorities uncovered the shocking discovery of 29 mummified girls in his apartment, stolen from local graves and transformed into life-size dolls. Moskvin, with a fascination for cemeteries, meticulously adorned the bodies in clothing and posed them in eerie displays.
Moskvin’s macabre activities were exposed through a video found by investigators, showcasing a collection of dolls made from human remains in his home. He meticulously documented details about each girl’s life and created guidelines for crafting such dolls. Moskvin, born in 1966, attributed his obsession with death to a traumatic childhood event involving a deceased girl named Natasha Petrova.
Despite his arrest, Moskvin was deemed mentally unfit for trial due to paranoid schizophrenia and was placed in a psychiatric facility. He has shown no remorse for his actions and remains in psychiatric care. Recent reports suggest that doctors are considering releasing him into the care of his relatives under the classification of “incapacitated.”
