"You abandoned your girls in the cold - and I brought them home and warmed them up"
A Russian court ruled that a historian was unfit to stand trial. His crime? Digging up corpses, then turning them into dolls.
Anatoly Moskvin, 46, from Nizhny Novgorod in central Russia, scoured over 700 graveyards for bodies of three to 12-year-olds for his macabre collection. He dressed the corpses even making one look like a teddy bear. There were at least 26 found in his home.
He dressed the dead children in stockings, girls' clothing and knee length boots to make them look like dolls, even applying lipstick and make-up to their faces, and putting music boxes inside their rib cages.
There's a mad science detail:
Moskvin kept Olga in his home for nine long years and told authorities that he was waiting for science to come far enough to make his dolls "live again."
And a digital technology angle:
Moskvin made a video which was found by police in which he filmed the bodies, zooming in on their faces. He can be heard saying: "These dolls are made of mummified human remains."
We at Infocult have been examining the creepy doll menace for years. We just wish they'd stop staring at us.
