The Doll Collector's Dark Secret: Anatoly Moskvin's Mummified Madness
Could you ever imagine the horror of discovering that the dolls in a quiet home were, in fact, the mummified remains of young girls? Join me, Sabrina, as we embark on an unsettling journey to Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, exploring the morbid world of Anatoly Moskvin. We traverse his childhood abduction and assault, his peculiar interest sparked by a funeral at twelve, and his descent into a realm where the dead became his companions. This episode is steeped in the macabre, from his academic excellence in linguistics to his dark alliances and vow of celibacy. Together, we'll try to unravel the complex tapestry of Anatoly's psyche, and how his scholarly pursuits led him to a life filled with nocturnal graveyard visits and a home that housed the unthinkable.
The narrative twists further as we focus on Anatoly's non-sexual partnership with Julia, their challenges with adoption, and his transition from a respected lecturer to a man haunted by an insatiable need for preservation. We'll uncover the disturbing practices that kept his parents and neighbors none the wiser as he crafted life-sized dolls from the bodies of the deceased, lovingly adorning them with clothes and wax masks. The sheer normalcy of Anatoly's day-to-day life belies the grim ritualistic activities that occurred behind closed doors, and I'll take you step by step through his ghastly process, sparing no detail.
Hi guys, welcome to Twisted Teas. This show is all about true crimes from all over the world. So grab your cup of tea and join me, your host, sabrina. So before I begin, let me pour myself my hot tea. What are you guys having? I hope you guys are having your cup of tea with me. Let's take a sip.
Speaker 1:Okay, in episode 5, we are covering a story that happened in Nizhny Novgorod in Russia. We are going to Russia today. So before I begin, I just want to inform you guys that listeners, discretion is advised because today's case will involve children yet again, I know, but I think it's very interesting. But today's case is very disturbing. It has something to do do with necrophilia, um dolls, um graves. So if you are uncomfortable, please keep this episode and definitely do not listen to this episode while you're having a meal. Do not make this mistake, the same mistake as I did. I could not swallow after that. So you know, um, I've always known there were stories about human dolls. When I say human dolls, I meant fleshed human dolls. Um, a couple of years ago, when I was really young, there was a episode in I think it's ncis. I can't remember which show exactly, but that episode actually made me remember it. There were cases like this, so I started researching when I was young and cases like this did exist back then. So this story actually really intrigued me. I'm pretty sure NCIS, or whatever I was watching, was inspired by this case. So enough yapping, let me introduce you the ultimate character for today's case.
Speaker 1:We have Anatolin Moskvin. I'm so sorry you guys if I butchered that. I'm trying my hardest. I'm just gonna refer to him as Anatolian. So Anatolian was born on 1st September in 1966 in Nizhny Novgorod. He was super smart, he um and he was very introverted. So he loves reading, he likes his own space and most of his time he spends alone. This is his comfort zone, where being alone is such a pleasure to him. And at nine years old he had experienced something really scary and traumatic. And at nine years old he had experienced something really scary and traumatic. I've actually sympathized with him during this period. He was walking down some street alone. He was kidnapped off a street by an older man and he was actually sexually assaulted. He never spoke of it. It not a word of it to his, even to his parents. That's how introverted he was. He kept a lot to himself. And then, a few years passed by, he was then 12 years old. Another significant thing happened to him that actually, we all believe that it altered his life. Um, it was also believed because of this.
Speaker 1:This was the thing that triggered him to behave as such. He he had a school project, um, something to do with recycling, and he went walking around his neighborhood alone again, most of the time he's alone so he was collecting all the recyclables, going to the neighbor's house one by one, knocking on the door, asking if they could like donate any recyclables for him, and then he stumbled upon this house. They, he knows whoever's in the neighborhood. Although he doesn't speak to them, he knows them. So this house, it looks shabby, it looks weird, but he saw some movements in the house and since the, the main doll was like a jar. Being curious, a curious 12 years old, he went inside. You know, I think this was like the biggest mistake he have ever done, because once he entered, he actually saw like a group of men standing in a circle in black ropes. Do you know how creepy that sounds like? It's dark blackes, um, and they were standing in a circle. It sounds like a cult, but apparently it wasn't. It was actually a funeral, because in the middle there was a casket and in the casket was a young girl named natasha. This name will actually stick with anatomic for quite a while.
Speaker 1:So some backstory about natasha, the girl in the casket. It was mentioned that she actually died from a freak accident. I don't understand this part, like how can her parents just leave the house like that? But I don't know? Um, apparently she was actually taking a bath and the house that she was living in was under construction, with exposed wires all over. Do you get the frustration, the frustration that I feel? Like you know it's not safe. Like you know it's not safe. Why? Why? Like that's why it is, and you're leaving a child at home. I don't know where the parents are, but yeah, she was taking a bath, she got out and she accidentally stepped on the exposed wire and then she got electrocuted. She's so small, of course she's not going to survive that right, and it's water and because it's within the same neighborhood, everyone, including Anatolyn, knew how Natasha died tragically. So Anatolyn being a Kepo.
Speaker 1:For my US listeners or European listeners, kepo means a busybody in Asian context I am Asian, by the way, like from the sound of me, yeah, so kepo is busybody. Okay, you can use this like to tell people off. He somehow made his person because he's sneaking around in the house. He's maybe he stepped on something, it creaked or something. His person was known to the men in the house and they discovered him. And before he could react, he was actually dragged across the room by all these men at least three men and suddenly, out of the blue, natasha's mom just popped up in the crowd of men, shouting at him and demanding anatoly to actually go closer to her, like, come closer, come closer. And before he could react, the men that three men actually who grabbed him, push his neck and face and head towards natasha's face cold face, cold and waxy face and force him to kiss her forehead three times.
Speaker 1:Can you imagine the trauma this kid will have to go through, like being forced to kiss some date person? You barely know that person. You can, you could never pay me enough to do that. Like if it's family it's different, but you know how anatoly is such an introvert. You see, I would be crying my eyes out if it was me. But anatoly, of course, like any other person, he struggled and refused to do it, but because he was overpowered by three men pushing him. He had no choice and kissed Natasha's face three times, but the worst was not over Natasha's mom.
Speaker 1:I feel like they planned this, maybe not to Anatoly, but they planned this if someone did come over, because this seems like a planned this. Maybe not to Anatoly, but they planned this if someone did come over, because this seems like a planned routine. You know, natasha's mom came over, rushed over to Anatoly and like showed him two rings. She slid the first ring to Anatoly and the other placed it in Natasha's fingers. Oh, I'm losing my voice. Ada placed it in Natasha's fingers. Oh, I'm losing my voice. And this poor child has a ring on his finger. And Natasha's mom actually told Anatoly like now Natasha is his wife and I swear this young boy must really like be shocked, shocked, it's blur happening too fast before he could react.
Speaker 1:He's someone else's husband, a date person's husband. And I know um, don't take me wrong, I'm not degrading any person's cultural belief. I do know that some culture and tradition that like this does exist. I don't know to which group exactly, but I know it does. But I'm just referring to this instant where that person has no agreement, the parents does not agree to this, and being forced to do something without prior knowledge or like any one of the family members is just too far. I don't know about you guys, but I guess you guys will feel the same. You wouldn't want to be forced to do something right?
Speaker 1:Um, but because of this, we believe that anatoly became so obsessed with graveyard and the dead because, first of all, he actually believed that natasha was his wife. He frequent graveyards and especially went to natasha's grave because he believed that natasha was his wife. Uh, and at first he was growing attached because he visits the grave, hear her grave every day, every day, every single day, and he will often see her in her dreams. Um, at first, of course, it's exciting someone you, I guess he knows, visits him. But over time it was getting too much. It was overwhelming for him. He was starting to get nightmares instead of dreams and it was so bad that he actually had to tell his parents. He's someone that kept a lot to himself, but do you know how much trauma he must have been? That to a point that he had to tell his parents that he's been having nightmares. And because the parents were concerned and they didn't know what to do. They brought him to the doctor, but of course I guess it's scientific and it's medical, right, we believe in science. So they believe in science. So the doctors were saying like, oh, it's okay, it's just signs of puberty, it's a natural thing, puberty, it's a natural thing. The doctor actually recommended that anatoly was just stressed with his studies. He just needs to drink more tea. What do you think? Do you think the tea would actually help him? Of course it didn't mean he was having nightmares and he got.
Speaker 1:Anatoly was so frustrated because he did what the doctor asked him to do and it did not work. So anatoly was thinking, taught him to himself like you know what, let me ask natasha myself in my dreams what I can do to end this. I don't know how he does it. Somehow he remembers this. And he asked her and Natasha responded like, if you want to be free, the only way you can do this is to pass me to another young boy. But that's about she.
Speaker 1:He needed to do a ceremony. What does it sound weird when I say that Ceremony, ceremony, ceremony? He needed to do a ceremony and he needed to steal a young boy's tooth. The person that he wants to transfer it to. I don't think Anatolyn thought much about it. All he wanted to do is to end. This might be wondering, like, how on earth does he get someone's tooth? But somehow he managed to find it maybe his close friend, or he got into a fight or something. He managed to get a tooth and he did this ceremony and somehow Natasha didn't appear in his dreams. I don't know, coincidence much. So now he's a free teenager.
Speaker 1:So from the age of 13 to 18, nothing really much happened during this time and he enjoyed studying. Just to remind you, anatoly is such a smart person, he's so intelligent. All he wants to do is to read. He reads dictionaries and textbooks during his free time. Okay, nothing much happened. He got good grades. So I guess I don't know what's the age of university um entry, but he got good grades.
Speaker 1:He managed to enter moscow's state university, which he studied philology, philology, um, and if you don't, you're like me, you don't know what. What that is? Um? I had to google this. So it's basically a study of history of languages and how it evolves over time.
Speaker 1:Anatolin, if I did not mention this earlier, he's so talented because he loves languages so much, he was really keen on date languages and he even knew how to speak 13 languages, guys, guys, I struggle to even speak three languages and I'm really amazed when someone can speak more than like five language, like even five. I'm like wow, wow, you're so amazing. I'm easily intrigued and easy to please, I guess, but 13 languages, you guys, is something I would be odd if I ever like meet anyone like that personally. So in university he was learning his languages and his state languages and because of this, it actually led him to learn luciferism and somehow he met a group of people with the same belief and he, he loved sharing the story. He shared his story of his past.
Speaker 1:This is anatoly, someone who's really he had no friends. Okay, to begin with, he was always alone. In university, he actually expanded his circle and he actually told the story of natasha and, of course, this group of people. Everyone's young, right, and we're easily pleased or in awe of someone. Um, they were in awe of him and they he actually made friends. Um, he never had friends and because of all this, he, they started to practice dark magic and try reaching up to the dead in this group. Antonio actually took a vow of celibacy for the rest of his life and often took the teachings and feedbacks from this group to how do I say this to base his life decisions from then on. So after he graduated, he actually became lecturer of linguistics, linguistic studies, and he published a lot of translations and books. He even published a Russian dictionary Russian to English dictionary. How many of you can say that you guys heard of Killers, not Killers? I guess he's not a killer Someone who published a book in your life right.
Speaker 1:After a while, he decided to quit his job as a lecturer and he wanted to become a freelance journalist and he was a freelance. How do I say this word? Ob, arbitraries, arbitraries, um, because this is his element graveyards, writing, and he's really good at writing. All this was his element. He loves being in the graveyard, he loves reading headstones. So with his obsession with graveyards, um, he was actually hired by universities to track gravestones all over russia. Excuse me, which is he loves, like this is made for him.
Speaker 1:Okay, he decided to do this. He took up the job and decided to do all this. He walked all over russia finding graves yeah, graveyards on foot. I don't know why he decided to do that. He could have used the bus or car or whatever, but he decided to do this on foot. Russia is big, even if you tell me in singapore you would walk by foot one end to the other. It might take a while, but he did that and no one forced him to do this. But because while taking this job I'm not exaggerating because he loves this, he'll dedicate, he was dedicating his life to this, 24 hours. Again, no one forced him. But because he does this, if you're going by foot in Russia, going to graveyard, obviously he lives in Nizhny right Novgorod. It would take a while for him to come back.
Speaker 1:So where is he gonna sleep? He sleeps on graves, freshly dug ones on top of the old ones at the side, and he actually also slipped in the freshly dug holes like empty, with no casket. Of course he, of course, because people, you're in grief, yeah, people die, people go visiting, and when people encountered him, they kind of threatened him to like go and drag him out because they didn't want him to be near their loved ones. I mean, it's a valid point. You know you don't know this person, but you're, you're sleeping like hugging the. They're sleeping like hugging the gravestone headstone. It's a bit weird, right? He's not actually homeless, you guys, he has a home, it's his, this is it. This is his pastime, his hobby, and because he's paid, he just took it right. So this job actually took him two years and he managed to complete this task over two years and he then moved back in his parents' home. So right now it's the 2000. To be exact, it was 2003.
Speaker 1:Hey guys, I was only 12 years old then, and then Tony got into his first actual relationship with a lady named Julia. Somehow they were like two peas in a pod. They had the same characteristic and they hit it off. But remember that Anatoly took celibacy right. Anatolyne took celibacy right. So Julia told Anatolyne that they were soulmates, and she was. She wanted a non-sexual relationship with him. This made Anatolyne so happy, because why can't I have both? Like, when you enter a relationship, of course there tend to be um, there tends to be uh, skin shape, sexual activities, whatever right. This was just perfect for anatoly because one he's in a relationship, he does not even need to be um in a sexual relationship, and it was just perfect for him so, being in this relationship after a while, he was so happy. So they wanted to have a child.
Speaker 1:But the question was, how do you have a child with no sex, right. So they turned to adoption, but, of course, because anatoly did not work and he was a freelancer, he was still doing translation. The application for adopting was rejected because of that. And also, the main issue is him and julia was not married one. And the second issue was they did not even live within the same house. How do you expect someone to approve an adoption process when how do like, do you ever think of that? Like, how does the child live? Then? It's like what? One house to another every day. It doesn't work right. And because of this, they it caused a lot of strains, uh, fights and all um and sorry, I'm just pouring my tea because I'm so thirsty and because of that, they soon broke up, right, anatoly was so heartbroken because of this, but he remained persistent.
Speaker 1:He really wanted a child badly. So in fact, specifically, he wanted a daughter. I think it's something to do with I don't know something about Natasha, I guess I don't know A young child, female, maybe. I don't know, no one actually said this, it's just my opinion, okay. Now, maybe I don't know, no one actually said this, it's just my opinion, okay.
Speaker 1:He actually asked his parents if he was to, like, get a full-time job, can he adopt a daughter for his own? And all they had to do he says this like casually all he had to do, was they had to do, was to, like, look after her while he works. But of course the parents are like, oh, he was his. By then he's almost 30. They rejected his idea. They didn't understand why like why do you have to have a child and a daughter for that effect? And because of this he got so angry with his parents, especially his mom. He actually threatened the mom like I will use a black magic on you and make your life hell. But the mom was so steady, steady as in like, calm, asian again, sorry. So the mom was really calm. She did not even bet an eyelid to distract. So we're getting into the story, guys. Side note the parents.
Speaker 1:His parents would travel every year for six months to a different country and just spend their time overseas. Every year. Six months that's like half a year every time without a field. And this is significant. Because he was lonely. I guess he want companionship, right? He was thinking wouldn't it be nice if I have a daughter, I can play with her, bring her to school I wouldn't be lonely, and so forth.
Speaker 1:He was so lonely, you guys. He had no interest except anything to do with the dead. And then this idea came to him I, because he wanted the child so badly does it really matter if the child is alive or dead? And since he he is an agravia expert expert he knew which one belonged to a child, because he will. He says the obit oh yeah, this word is so hard to pronounce obit, ob to wary, obituary, whatever la that thing, that you find your like someone who passed away the announcement. He knew which one belonged to a child, which one was female, which one was fresh, how many days old. And guess what? He went ahead and dug a grave of a young girl. Do you know that? You think that it was just one? No, no, no, no, it was actually. This was the start of his obsession. He started this and he went on for 10 years. Guys, it's a decade. A decade is 10 years, right? He went up to digging, guess how many? Up to hundreds, I'm not exaggerating. It's hundreds of graves of young girls. It's hundreds of graves of young girls.
Speaker 1:His first grave, his first child grave, because he was looking for traits that he wanted in a young girl and because it was quite easy for him, because he wanted it to be a young girl, just demure looking, sweet looking, and he found one. When he liked this grave grave, he started digging. Um, he started digging until he reached the coffin and he took out a chisel and started to punch a hole around where, where I guess the placement of the head would start, where I guess the placement of the head would start not start the placement of the head, I guess. I don't know how I'm trying to visualize this, but I don't know how he managed. I guess, yeah, it must be such a quite a long, like a rectangular shape, right, he must spend like hours doing that. It's a chisel, you guys, it's not that big. You know, that hole he made, he made he could actually pull the child out of the coffin, the young girl out of the coffin. Don't know how this is possible, but I guess the hole is big enough.
Speaker 1:And after pulling the body out, he actually saw that the girl that he pulled out was dressed in white shirt, black skirt, with tights and shoes and had really long hair. He saw that the body was in a really bad condition. And because he wants to. He wants to keep the body in pristine condition, right, he wants to treat her as her daughter and because he wanted to visit her often, the only way to do that was to preserve her body. And what do you do to preserve the body? He mummified her. He decided to mummify her. I'm not joking, this is such a disrupting thing to do, but I did. I just I cannot imagine, because how would the parents feel? Right, like, knowing that the child was brought out in that manner? Pretty sure that the parents would be cursing him, but I guess that's what he did.
Speaker 1:So because anatoly was such an expert in celtic studies celtic celtic studies and the dead, he actually knew, of course he knew how to mummify someone. Right then. Then he actually prepared for this. He pulled out baking soda and salt and started to pour in it in like socks or tights in a way, and he started to wrap this what you call this bandage, I guess, around her body and the preservation started then, and that was to, like, help the body dry out. And then he proceeded to bury her back. He did not bury her in the same spot, he took her body and buried it someone somewhere else that was not hers.
Speaker 1:So for the next few weeks he proceeded to visit, visit her new grave and kept re-digging and burying because he needs to upkeep the mummification process. And when the process was finally done, he would actually dug the body up and spent the night with her and like talked to her as though that, as though this kid can actually talk back. You know, um, it's kind of sad, like what happened to that empty grave. He was so good at covering it back that the parents did not know that they were visiting. And an empty grave. I would be so angry if I were to do this. You know, where was I? Okay, so because every time he visits the grave, right, he needs to dig it up, he put her out, put her back in.
Speaker 1:It was getting tedious, yeah, because it's tedious to bring in and out and he was thinking like why don't I just bring her home, since my parents are not home? You would think she would actually bring the body that he dug up, right. But no, he actually dug a fresh new grave of a new trial. Of course, it's another young girl, but this time around the girl that he dug was age three years old. She's so tiny, she was so tiny that he was able to fit her in her in his backpack.
Speaker 1:And then the whole process started again. He started to mummify her in his own table at home. It's getting so really, guys. He's bringing it home. So once the process is over, he decided to top up. He advanced, for you guys, he decided to place a wax face on top of this girl's face to hide her real face, and he would actually put makeup on that girl's face and then he, he um, dress her up to make it feel like it's real that she's. He's dressing up his daughter. And was he contacted? Contented with the new girl? Of course not.
Speaker 1:Guess what he did? He proceeded to dig and mummify another child, and another, and another, and another. I've already lost track how many that he dubbed at this time, but he had a bunch of mummified body in his home and because of this, he decided to make them as his personal human doll collection. You guys, if you guys google this up, just google his name up there will actually be pictures of his collection. And I googled him, I googled them up, you guys. Such a mistake. I can never unsee it right now, but it brought out such creepy vibes and looking at the pictures and, knowing the fact that it was an actual body, it is embalmed with personal items and clothes and he likes to stuff the bodies with the child's personal items. You guys, in the body that could be like a tag you know that grave tag I I guess he put it in there. Um, he had a collection I I mean, when you google this, you will see that the face is all covered, thank god. But because I did this, I could not sleep for a week. You guys, like no joke, no joke, it is so creepy. It was such a mistake to actually look at it I couldn't sleep.
Speaker 1:Um, he dressed them up and at this point he actually mummified 20 young girls in in his house. He will dress them up differently, with tights and colorful clothes, because he wants to have different personalities for each doll. For cops of girls that the head wouldn't sit right. He would actually decapitate it and replace it with an actual doll head. So he was making human hybrid dolls and you know how you have squeezable bass or you can put voice voices, voice recorders, in bass. He did that. He actually placed a music box, a squeeze out box, um, in one of the. He stuffed it in one of the girls body and so when you squeeze them, actual, actual music comes up. You guys, it's like a billabar, the the squeeze. See, I'm getting speechless. The squeezable box, um, actually works. One would have music, one would have voice.
Speaker 1:Um, I'm getting dizzy trying to like say the details to you guys, but this was a collection of human dolls. I need to like drink my tea. Yep, so when I say a collection, he will actually hold tea parties for them and dinner parties for them. The only person who actually ate was actually him. And what's sickening, he has escalated to become I don't know what to describe him, to become more insane that he actually held birthday parties for each and every child, as like he would actually have the birthday parties of the girls, like real birthdays, you guys, because he treats them like his child. He just treats it like hey, you're this, how old? He actually had a party. And it's sickening because every I mean, if a child passed away, every date or every birthday that the parents would encounter, I'm pretty sure that will affect them. But here he is actually making parties for the girls, and they're not even in perfect condition, they're not at peace, you know. And all this happened.
Speaker 1:You might be thinking like can't be, it can't be. Like the parents don't know. The parents were away because it was like a chunk of time, at the time, right, and the time has come the end of six months they came back. You would think that the parents entering the house would notice all these human corpses lying around, like why they? Why are there? Like dolls. But no, you thought they would say something, but no, they actually didn't. They actually noticed. Of course they're going to notice all the dolls, but they knew he has a love of collecting dolls since young. Those probably dolls. Uh, so it wasn't abnormal to them, um, but pretty sure there's gonna be smells, because the it was. The smell was so strong that the neighbors actually complained about them. But I don't know why the parents did not say anything. Um, I guess they're immune to smells, I don't know. Um, because the dolls were lying around. The parents would have guests over, uh, with the dolls around, okay, but no one, no one actually said anything. They noticed the dolls, they didn't say anything. What is more, I wouldn't say weird, they didn't say anything. What is more, I wouldn't say weird creepy. Anatoly gifted a human doll to the mom and the mom actually placed the corpse in their room, sitting there, and all this while there was just a corpse in the room. I'm, I'm really torn. I don't think that, for me personally, this is just my opinion. I don't think the mom, for me personally, this is just my opinion. I don't think the parents are innocent. You got to know something right. You got to notice something what's wrong, right At this point they didn't right, I don't know.
Speaker 1:Years has passed, you guys. Every time his parents went on holiday, anatoly would add to his collection and his collection has been like, will begin, has been beginning to be. What am I talking about? His collection is getting fresher corpse by the the month and he will actually find obituaries for new victims. He got bored of the old dolls. He would place them in the garage and forget about them and went on to dig new ones, mummify and replace. And he went as far as threatening the cops, the victims I guess victims' parents to replace headstones as birthday present. He will leave notes around the graves just to taunt them, and they don't know that they've been visiting anti-graves, like I said. So they've been getting all these threats and they reported to the police, but the police could not do anything, so they just you know what? Instead of getting all these notes, let me just replace the headstone that's above the gif um.
Speaker 1:In 2011, there was a terrorist terrorist attack in moscow and there was a lot of anti-muslim movements and they were going around vandalizing muslims gravesites and, you guessed it, anatoly was one of them. Police was starting to suspect Anatoly because he was the only person who is really well versed. He knew every gravesite, every heat stone, everything about graves and deaths, but they couldn't charge him because there's no proof. So they started to have an operations thing to catch anatoly. So he they wanted to catch him on vandalism and one day they did caught him. They wanted to arrest because he was in the action to vandalize the muslims graves and the police said like they wanted to search his place and anatolyn. Anatolyn was a person who actually agreed and allowed the police to search his house because he was thinking he was being caught for vandalism and the police was thinking, maybe he has cans of like spray cake spray cans all over his house. They needed that proof. They did not know. Instead of looking for something else, they would find bodies.
Speaker 1:So when they came to the house, they got a shock of their lives because the house was messy. There were books everywhere and the most overwhelming thing was the smell in the house. They could not understand what the smell was. Then they looked around. They saw all this life-sized dolls in the house and they started to stare at the dolls and they were thinking like, hmm, why do these dolls looks weird, they really look out of place. Something about them is just weird. It's just not right. So one maybe they were thinking like, oh, maybe it's so weird because he's hiding something in the dolls. They looked weird. So one of the police officers actually started to poke the dolls and they discovered it was not a freaking rag doll or anything like a huge rag doll. They discovered it was actually a human. It's human flesh and overall they found 29 human dolls and they did not even think about checking Vandalism right now because they found this doll. So because of this there was a full-blown investigation. They pursued that and they were horrified to find out that in this human dolls were stuffed items that Anatoly kept in them, as I guess it's like a personal token to each doll. The stolen items are in the dolls.
Speaker 1:You guys, because of this they, like anatoly, could not like get out of this. He confessed to him and even told the police that he's been robbing Grace for eight years. And to him what wrong am I doing? Because I'm giving them a better life? I'm treating them with care? I don't know how? Is that how? That is care I'm dressing them I'm giving, giving them a better life.
Speaker 1:What was harder for the police, of course, was first, they have to inform their parents. Informing the parents is okay. Inform the parents that they've been visiting empty graves. They had to inform their parents that this guy has been stealing their child's body and been stuffing them and trying to preserve the body and been stuffing them with personal items of the dead. And the police concluded that anatoly actually robbed more than 120 graves and bodies overall and this story actually became international news.
Speaker 1:You guys, because of this, anatoly's parents were ripped and shredded by the media because no one believed them. No, everyone mentioned that they had to know something. It's impossible that they knew. But they kept saying that they did not know anything and because of the backlash and everything, they actually suffered depression and I think the dad suffered a heart attack. I mean, I don't know. I'm still I don't know. They're a bit iffy With all the dolls and the smell. How can you not? I don't know. I don't know, you guys, I'm really torn on this.
Speaker 1:So Anatoly was actually put on trial and, what is annoying, like he kept referring to the children that he stole as his child, his children, and he kept bashing the parents for not taking better care of them. That his defense was he took better care of them and he clothed them, he played with them. You guys, I don't know what happened to him. He just became this, uh, his mental state, I guess, deteriorate as he grows older. So in the end and it only because in russia he was only charged with desecration of graves and he was put in a psychiatric unit because that technically didn't kill the, the cops, the children, he only dug them out, the children, he only dug them out. So it wasn't a grave. What you call this grave, uh, it wasn't like um, a huge offense. It's huge, but it's not as bad because he didn't kill anyone. He did not so far.
Speaker 1:What was mentioned? That he did not even, uh, sexual abuse them. There's no necrophilic involved. That's what they said. But I don't know, maybe um all he wanted was companionship. He did not. He wasn't interested in sex at all and anatoly was ordered to pay 75 000 dollars to each um of the parents victim for doing this. And it was said that when he was in the psychiatric hospital he was often beaten up by inmates and hospital staff because he was known for like doing that.
Speaker 1:I kind of pity him. I kind of pity him a bit, you guys. So recently it was announced that he could be released soon. But he can only be released to like a care home or to with friends. Uh, off now. We don't know what's the result yet. Uh, I don't know. If you guys know, let me know, leave a comment, leave a feedback.
Speaker 1:But yeah, so this is a story of anatoly most mosh kevin. It's a diff um disturbing story. Uh, really, I was searching a few YouTube stories I was reading. My advice is please do not look up the pictures. If you're brave, go ahead. But it was disturbing for me. I was looking up and was curious while I was eating and then I could not sleep for a few nights. I do hope he doesn't get released so soon, but even if he does like, can his parents even take care of him? I don't think so, honestly. He must have been like 50 ish right now. I don't know. So let me know. What do you think of this? Story is disturbing, quite so. Until the next one, you guys, see you.
