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.

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

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

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
