Anatoly Yurevych Moskvin (Russian: ??????´?, ?????´??? ?´??????; born 1 September 1966) is a Russian philologist, historian and linguist from Nizhny Novgorod who was arrested in 2011 after the mummified bodies of twenty-six girls between the ages of three and fifteen were discovered in his apartment.
After exhuming the bodies from local graveyards, Moskvin mummified the bodies himself before dressing and posing them around his home.
Moskvin's parents, who shared the apartment with him, saw the mummies but mistook them for large dolls.A psychiatric evaluation determined that Moskvin suffered from a form of paranoid schizophrenia.
In May 2012, Moskvin was sentenced to court-ordered psychiatric evaluation and has since been held in a psychiatric hospital.Vladimir Stravinskas, the head of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for the Nizhny Novgorod region, called the case exceptional and unparalleled in modern forensics.
