This isn't only weird but.... really?
Mummified 'dolls' found at Russian's home
Historian accused of robbing graves arrested
Russia's Interior Ministry says police have arrested a man who kept 29 mummified bodies at his apartment and dressed them up like dolls.
Ministry spokesman Valery Gribakin said Monday that the suspect from the Volga River city of Nizhny Novgorod dug up the bodies at several cemeteries in the region.
The 45-year-old man, whose identity was withheld, allegedly dressed them in clothes dug up from the graves.
Gribakin said the suspect is a historian who has authored several books.
He said the arrest followed a police probe into the desecration of graves in the region, initially blamed on extremist groups.
Russian media reports quoted police as saying the man only had selected the remains of young women, aged between 15 and 25 years, for his grisly collection.
Nizhny Novgorod is located about 400 kilometres east of Moscow.
