Anatoly Moskvin is a Russian former linguist, philologist, and historian who was arrested in 2011 after the mummified bodies of twenty-six girls and women between the ages of 3 and 29 were discovered in his apartment in Nizhny Novgorod. 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.

Ughh.... Well, at least he didn't kill them himself, I suppose.

That is exactly what I thought. Especially when he had a 3yo.

I don't agree with the arrest. He didn't harm anyone. He clearly needs to be in a institution not Jail

He is clearly insane. He should be locked, but in a institution.

Go complain to the Russian government about their justice system, see how that goes

He is in a mental institution as he's not fit to stand trial. WTF are you talking about?

Son_of_dad@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

I'm sure the families of the dead are very happy and unharmed by this. By the way he is in a mental health facility, not jail

Let's do it with your mom and put slutty clothes on her. Maybe cop a little feelsy. No biggie right? We good?

Oh baby you gonna have a bad day because I don't give a shit and neither does my mom. After she is gone it's just meat. Also I guess you are dislexic because I didn't say it was ok, just that he has a severe mental problem and need help in a institution

So....I can borrow her for a couple hours Tuesday night? What's "dislexic"? I've heard of dyslexic before..?

I do what I can, I'm just out here doing God's work.. trying to stay humble, naimsayin? Is 'wiw' some new acronym you whipper snappers are using? Or is that another typo in your response to my reply about your typo?? I think I'm falling in love 😘

I'm sorry, "knew of the mummies but mistook them for large dolls"???

I’m taking it that his parents were elderly, and could not ever dream of their son doing such a thing.

Son_of_dad@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

But their son having 29 human sized dolls was just fine and not weird at all

Watch the video by Russian police, he added them masks, they look like real size dolls: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ep8wcPP0kp4

charlytune@mander.xyz · 2 pts · 2y

Yeah thanks but no thanks. Even if they're wearing masks that feels creepy and invasive.

Son_of_dad@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

Right? And even if they're dolls. Your middle aged son having 29, human sized dolls in the house IS STILL FUCKED UP AND WEIRD. and it's a sign that your son has severe issues.

Son_of_dad@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

I'm kinda not buying his parent's story that they thought they were dolls

ReverendIrreverence@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y

The sense of smell (usually) diminishes during "old age" so his parents might not have even smelled whatever the hell that house smelled like.
