Just downright weird: A student showed me this

There’s nothing like discovering your “genius” neighbor is actually hoarding close to 30 dead bodies in his small apartment. Anatoly Moskvin, 45, has been charged with desecrating cemeteries after authorities discovered the corpses of 29 women that had been mummified and dressed up as life size dolls. Unfortunately, there is more to this disturbing story. Moskvin also apparently stuffed the corpses chests with various objects such as music boxes and toy hearts, among other things. “There was something particular in the chest of practically every mummy. When we tried to move one of the bodies, the room unexpectedly filled with music,” said one investigator. The police video depicts a frightening scene showing his vast collection of mummies dressed in brightly colored clothes made to look like dolls. He was a historian who spoke 13 different languages, was revered as a genius by his neighbors, and gave frequent lectures at local museums as he was considered one of the leading experts on cemeteries. It’s always the seemingly normal, well-respected community members that have the most twisted dark secrets. Moskvin previously stated that he started exploring cemeteries when he was in 7th grade, and has been fascinated ever since. In fact, he claims that he investigated over 750 cemeteries between 2005 and 2007, often walking distances of 20 miles.
For what’s estimated to be at least 15 years, Moskvin has been digging up graves at nearby cemeteries and stealing the bodies for his “collection” at home.

The 29 corpses discovered at his home were all women between the ages of 15 and 25. Police said that there were pictures and name cards from the grave sites, which helped them to identify the bodies. His obsession with female corpses supposedly is a result of something that happened to him when he was 12 years old. He was apparently forced to kiss the face of a dead girl at a funeral. “An adult pushed my face down to the waxy forehead of the girl in an embroidered cap, and there was nothing I could do but kiss her as ordered,” Moskvin explained. While the police have Moskvin in custody and have recovered all of the desecrated corpses, it has yet to be officially clarified how exactly Moskvin was discovered. Some reports say he was caught leaving a cemetery with a bag of bones, one says his parents discovered the bodies when they were over for a visit, and another report claims the police came up on the grisly collection when the went to seek his counsel about the grave robberies. -->
