A Russian historian dug up 29 bodies before taking them back to his apartment where he dressed them in women's clothes and put them on display. _______________________________________
Anatoly Moskvin had always been open about his interest in the dead and eagerly described how he loved to rummage through cemeteries, studying grave stones to uncover the life stories behind them.
What he failed to mention, according to police, was that he had dug up dozens of bodies and taken them back to his apartment, where he dressed them in women's clothes scavenged from graves and then put them on display.
A police video of the man's apartment in the Volga River city of Nizhny Novgorod released Monday shows his macabre collection of what look like dolls. Lifesize, they are dressed in bright dresses and headscarves, their hands and faces wrapped in what appears to be cloth. Police said they were mummified remains.
Instructions for doll-making were found in the apartment, police said, and the video showed old-fashioned plastic dolls in frilly dresses lying about.
Police refused to name the suspect arrested last week, but released photographs of him, gave his age as 45 and described him as a well-known specialist in the history of the city about 400 kilometers (250 miles) east of Moscow.
The 45-year-old historian who was considered the ultimate expert on cemeteries in Nizhny Novgorod.

He said he later grew interested in the occult.

Excitable boy they all said.
Were they men? THAT'S SICK!
“Were they men? That’s sick”
Soooo, it would have been okey-dokey if he dug up women and dressed them in women’s clothing?!!!
That fellow is sick enough to be a Democrat politician.
Oy. Some people are such sick creeps.
