A twisted historian who desecrated the graves of 29 young girls and kept their preserved bodies as dolls is on the verge of being released soon. Anatoly Moskvin, aged 59, transformed the deceased children into life-sized figures by dressing them in various attire, including stockings, clothes, and boots, along with applying cosmetics like lipstick and makeup to their faces.
Originally a military intelligence translator, Moskvin delved into cemetery studies during his academic journey and observed the birthdays of his deceased victims in a macabre manner in his own bedroom. Despite repeated court denials in Russia to set him free, reports suggest that psychiatric professionals are now advocating for his return to his home environment.
Healthcare workers are reportedly preparing to present legal documents suggesting Moskvin’s release under the supervision of family members, potentially classifying him as “incapacitated,” enabling him to reside with friends or relatives instead of a medical institution.
First apprehended in 2011, Moskvin confessed to disturbing 44 graves of girls aged three to 12. The families of the deceased girls, whose resting places were violated by Moskvin, have vehemently opposed his release, fearing a resurgence of his gruesome practices, including living with some victims’ remains for up to a decade. Despite expressing a desire to marry and work as a language tutor, Moskvin has consistently declined to express remorse to the families of those he victimized.
One of his victims, Olga Chardymova, aged 10, was among the 29 girls he unearthed and transformed into mummified dolls, some of which had music boxes placed within their chests. The mother of Olga, Natalia Chardymova, was unaware of the empty coffin during her regular visits to her daughter’s grave. She expressed concerns about a potential repeat of the traumatic events if Moskvin were to be released, citing the fear and distress he brought into her life.
In a disturbing address to the parents, Moskvin callously stated, “You abandoned your girls in the cold – and I brought them home and warmed them up,” showing no remorse for his actions. Referring to the deceased girls as solely his own, he refused to extend an apology, asserting that the parents’ rights over their daughters ended with their burial.
Moskvin’s past includes serving as a translator for military intelligence in the Red Army during Soviet times and subsequently publishing history books. Despite his mother’s claim that she was unaware of the true nature of his creations, describing them as mere large dolls, she criticized the biased court decisions against her son, believing they hindered his integration back into society, employment, or marriage.
