Anatoly Moskvin

Donnerstag, 01. September 1966

Anatoly Yuryevich Moskvin (Russian: Анатолий Юрьевич Москвин; born 1 September 1966) is a Russian former linguist, philologist, and historian from Nizhny Novgorod who was arrested in 2011 after the mummified bodies of 26 girls and women between the ages of three and 29 were discovered in his apartment. After exhuming the bodies from local cemeteries, Moskvin mummified the bodies himself before dressing and posing them around his home. Moskvin's parents, who shared the apartment with him, knew of the mummies but mistook them for large dolls.
