[Music] listeners on Wednesday November 2 2011 a group of anti-terrorism police officers
00:01:15
from the Russian region of Nish novarad approached an apartment they weren't there to make an
00:01:21
arrest instead they were visiting for research purposes the apartment was home to a
00:01:28
semi- famous historian whose expert opinion was being sought for a case they were working
00:01:33
on the officers knocked on the apartment door and were LED in by the historian upon entering the small
00:01:40
residence the officers were immediately struck by its chaotic state every single surface including the
00:01:48
floor was cluttered with enormous stacks of books files and papers bags filled with what appeared to
00:01:55
be women's and girls clothing were strewn about the there were so many belongings scattered everywhere that
00:02:02
officers struggled to move through the rooms without knocking things over as they looked around at the mess
00:02:09
their eyes began to adjust and they could make out specific items dotted throughout the apartment
00:02:16
were a number of dolls these weren't store-bought Mass manufactured toys but crude seemingly
00:02:24
homemade and life-sized several were lying on the floor or across table others were propped on top of dresses
00:02:33
and wedged into kns the dolls were covered from head to toe dressed in an array of mismatched
00:02:40
old clothing one wore thick stockings a skirt and a bright pink ski jacket another was in what appeared to be a red
00:02:49
tutu a third doll wore a purple dress stockings and a bonnet and had been positioned on a chair with its legs
00:02:57
crossed all of their faces were WRA wrapped in bandages stockings or wax type plaster some had buttons for eyes
00:03:06
and facial features drawn on with paint or makeup While others were left faceless as an officer leaned into to
00:03:14
more closely inspect one of the Dolls a shocking realization dawned on him another officer reached out and
00:03:22
touched it suddenly a sound filled the room it was a well-known Russian nursery rhyme the bear really loves
00:03:32
honey somehow the music was coming from inside the doll [Music] [Music] [Music] in 1992 at the age of 20 Natalia Chim
00:04:06
mova was expecting her first child Natalia and her husband eigor lived in the capital of n novarad the
00:04:14
Russian city known locally as nni located about 400 km east of Moscow n was a vibrant City with beautiful
00:04:24
architecture postcard scenery and a rich culture it seems like a good place to raise a
00:04:31
child that same year Natalia and eigor welcomed their baby a little girl who they named
00:04:39
Olga the couple doted on Olga and she grew into an affectionate and happy child Olga loved expressing herself
00:04:47
through fashion taking particular Delight in wearing dresses and accessorizing her outfits with the
00:04:52
jewelry and Handbags she often adorned her long blonde hair with bows or hair clips
00:05:00
the chardi mova family lived in a modest flat both Natalia and Eagle worked day jobs so when Olga wasn't at school she
00:05:08
was often cared for by her grandmother who lived close by in a neighboring apartment
00:05:14
block by the spring of 2002 the now 10-year-old Olga was confident determined and eager for some
00:05:22
Independence one morning as Natalia and eor prepared to take her to her grandmothers Olga announced I'm 10
00:05:30
already I can go myself despite Olga's insistence that she was ready to make the short walk by
00:05:38
herself Natalia and eigor weren't keen on the idea but Olga was adamant so reluctantly they
00:05:46
agreed Olga swung her favorite green handbag over her shoulder collected her blue umbrella and skipped out the
00:05:54
[Music] door it should have only taken Olga a few minutes to reach her grandmother's
00:06:00
home but as the minutes ticked by she failed to show as more time passed with no sign of
00:06:07
the little girl Olga's family quickly realized that something must have happened to her and called the
00:06:14
police officers scoured the neighborhood trying to find anyone who had seen the 10-year-old they came across a local man
00:06:22
who had a drug problem and took him in for questioning it wasn't long before he began to talk
00:06:30
the man had been loitering in the Foy of Olga's family's apartment block when he
00:06:34
spotted the 10-year-old coming down the stairs he moved in front of Olga intentionally blocking her path so she
00:06:41
couldn't exit the building he then forced her upstairs to the top floor and demanded she hand over her
00:06:48
earrings he planned to sell them to a local porn shop for some Quick Cash the man told the officers that Olga
00:06:56
had tried to run away he didn't want her to report him so before she could Escape
00:07:02
he grabbed a metal bar raised it high and brought it down hard on her [Music] head despite his confession the man
00:07:12
couldn't or wouldn't tell the police what he had done with Olga's body officers interrogated him endlessly and
00:07:19
searched the apartment block and its surrounds to no avail Olga's parents were consumed by
00:07:26
grief and guilt and without Olga's body they were unable to lay her to rest 5 months went by with no further
00:07:36
developments then one day in Autumn a Grizzly Discovery was made in the Attic of the apartment block where Olga had
00:07:44
lived human remains were found wedged between some pipes there the size and structure indicated they belonged to a
00:07:52
prepubescent girl one side of the skull was fractured consistent with being beaten over the
00:07:59
head with a blunt object beside the remains were a green handbag and a blue umbrella on Wednesday October 2 2002
00:08:12
Natalia and eagor buried their daughter in the crash NAA atna Cemetery in n's leninski
00:08:18
District they placed a temporary marker on top of her grave until the ground beneath settled and they could afford a
00:08:25
proper headstone Natalia and eigor visited V's grave site regularly and maintained it
00:08:32
lovingly they laid a fresh wreath of flowers when the old one began to wilt after about 7 months Natalia and
00:08:41
eigor added a small metal fence around the border of the grave and painted it themselves on Thursday May 8th 2003 the
00:08:50
couple went to the site to finish painting the fence as they approached Olga's grave both were struck with an
00:08:58
odd feeling that something thing wasn't right they soon realized why someone had
00:09:05
moved the wreath on Olga's grave this interference left Natalia and eigor upset after their next few visits
00:09:15
proceeded with no further issues Natalia and Eagle put the incident out of their
00:09:20
mind but then one day at the end of the month they discovered something even more
00:09:27
troubling someone had left a hand written note on top of Olga's grave it was directed at Olga addressing her as
00:09:35
little lady the author had not left their name instead signing off with the letters da
00:09:42
meaning kind Angel Natalia and eigor were appalled by June 2003 Natalia and eigor
00:09:52
had finally saved enough money to buy a proper headstone when they visited their
00:09:57
daughter a week after it was in installed they saw something stuck to the new headstone it was another
00:10:05
note this one was addressed to them it read if you don't erect a great Monument which she deserves we will dig her body
00:10:17
out unable to afford this demand Natalia and Eagle had no choice but to ignore it
00:10:24
the next time they visited Olga's grave The Headstone had been smashed to pieces
00:10:32
Natalia and Eagle reported the notes and the vandalized headstone to the police the officers were sympathetic but said
00:10:40
there was nothing they could do such vandalism was a common occurrence in fact every week in cemeteries all across
00:10:48
the city at least a few Graves were reported as being damaged vandals broke headstones stole
00:10:55
toys and flowers and scribbled graffiti then had even been several reports of grave sites where the bones
00:11:02
of those buried had been dug up and left scattered around NY police occasionally patrolled
00:11:09
the cemeteries as part of their wider City rounds but they hadn't ever caught anyone in the
00:11:15
ACT Natalia and Eagle replaced the destroyed headstone with a small metal cross it was soon bent out of
00:11:23
shape a few months later in early September Natalia and eigor discovered another note on Olga's grave it wished
00:11:32
Olga well for the new school year once again the author had signed off as kind Angel the end of the school year saw
00:11:42
another note appear which read little lady we congratulate you on finishing the sixth grade keep growing as a kind
00:11:51
smart pretty girl we are very proud of you years pass and the notes continued they were left in recognition
00:12:02
of public holidays and other special occasions on every New Year's Day Natalia and Eagle found stuffed toys and
00:12:11
other decorations adorning their daughter's grave each time they visited the cemetery they were fearful of what they
00:12:18
would find the notes were all written as though Olga was still alive and the harassment made it impossible for
00:12:26
Natalia and eigor to process their grief over time it put such a strain on their
00:12:33
marriage that the two separated Natalia moved in with her mother while Igor remained in their
00:12:40
apartment he couldn't bear to leave the place that carried so many memories of [Music]
00:12:48
vulgar in early September 2009 a homeless man was walking through a cemetery about 200 km Southwest of Nishi
00:12:57
when he encountered another man crating the grave of a little girl in order to stop the Vandal he
00:13:04
grabbed a nearby shovel and hit him across one of his hands the Vandal quickly fled a few days later on Saturday
00:13:13
September 12th at a cemetery in a neighboring Village it was discovered that another young girl's grave had been
00:13:20
Disturbed her family had heard about the previous desecration and believed the same person must be
00:13:27
responsible they decided to go go searching for the culprit and found a local man aged in his 50s with a hand
00:13:34
injury his name was mle sharov and he was promptly arrested by the police upon digging into sharov's
00:13:44
background the police discovered that about 4 months earlier he had been caught trying to exume the bodies of
00:13:50
young soldiers an intoxicated shov who was ex-military had been screaming that he
00:13:56
should be the one in the ground not them after that incident shov was detained in
00:14:03
a psychiatric hospital for treatment he had only recently been released mik sharov was found
00:14:12
responsible for desecrating the graves of the two young girls in February 2010 a few months after his arrest he was
00:14:20
once again sent for mandatory psychiatric treatment given his pattern of behavior
00:14:26
police wondered whether shov might be behind more than just these two crimes over the last few years there had
00:14:34
been a troubling uptick in Cemetery disturbances throughout the region mostly involving the grave sides of
00:14:40
young girls Natalia and deor Chim mova had not been alone in their torment dozens of other families had
00:14:49
found similar notes on their daughter's Graves after sharov's arrest police compared his handwriting to these
00:14:57
notes it closed ly matched the mall mik sharov's capture and detention didn't Garner much
00:15:07
attention the matter was of no interest to most news outlets and was overshadowed by another event that had
00:15:14
occurred only a week or so earlier on the evening of Monday January 24 2011 moscow's domovo International
00:15:24
Airport was a buzz hundreds of people were greeted by loved ones as they passed through the
00:15:30
airport arrivals Hall then suddenly at about 6:30 p.m. a man's voice cried out I'll kill you all before an immense
00:15:39
explosion ripped through the crowd 37 people were killed and nearly 100 people were
00:15:46
injured hours after the blast reports came in that amongst the wreckage police had found the head of a 30 something man
00:15:53
of Middle Eastern appearance authorities announced that the man had set off a device packed with
00:16:00
7 kg of explosives it was believed that the perpetrator belonged to a group of militant islamists from Russia's North
00:16:08
Caucasus region who' orchestrated the airport attack only days after the bombing
00:16:16
several Graves belonging to Muslim women were vandalized in cemeteries across Nish authorities were quick to assume
00:16:24
that this was retaliation for the terrorist attack but they noted that the nature of the vandalism was very
00:16:31
specific all of the targeted Graves featured images of the deceased women whether in photographs left at the site
00:16:38
or chiseled Into The Headstone somebody had covered the faces with newspapers and then painted over
00:16:45
them with green paint black paint was smeared over their names on the graves epets over the next few months more of
00:16:54
these Graves were damaged in the same way in nearly every Cemetery in Nishi law enforcement soon developed a
00:17:03
different Theory as to who was behind the vandalism according to Muslim burial principles it is forbidden to include
00:17:10
the name or image of the deceased person on their gravestone perhaps some Islamic
00:17:16
fundamentalists were attempting to strictly enforce the rules of their faith whoever was responsible the
00:17:24
escalating attacks were believed to pose a national security concern a special task force from the N Region's
00:17:32
anti-terrorism unit was established to bring the situation under control every night teams of officers
00:17:39
were dispatched to patrol the city's cemeteries despite working the case for months the task force couldn't make any
00:17:48
Headway by the time more than 150 Muslim Graves had been targeted they decided it
00:17:54
was time to consult a specialist [Music] 45-year-old Anatoli Mosin was something
00:18:08
of a minor celebrity in N he was a well-respected historian lecturer and published author and was fluent in 13
00:18:17
languages though he identified as Pagan Mosin took an intellectual and professional interest in a broad range
00:18:24
of faiths and religions this underpinned MOS true passion which was the study of
00:18:31
cemeteries and burial practices he'd studied more than 750 cemeteries across Russia compiling an
00:18:39
extensive index of around 10,000 Graves over the years he had assisted many families in searching for their
00:18:48
ancestors the task force believed that if anyone could provide inside into the Muslim grave desecrations Anatoli Mosin
00:18:57
could osin lived in an apartment on lenon Avenue in N leninski District on Wednesday November 2 2011 officers from
00:19:07
the anti-terrorism task force knocked on the door and were greeted by Mosin who invited them
00:19:15
inside Mosin shared the apartment with his elderly parents but it was difficult to see how three people could live in
00:19:22
such a place every single surface including the floor was cluttered with books files papers and bags of what
00:19:31
appeared to be women's and girls clothing amongst the mess was a number of crude and apparently homemade
00:19:39
life-sized dolls dressed in mismatched clothing with either blank or makeup covered
00:19:45
masks they were spotted on the floor spraw across tables propped on top of dresses and squeezed into
00:19:54
Corners one officer leaned in for a closer inspection and realized ized he wasn't looking at a doll at all it was a
00:20:02
mummified human corpse when another officer touched the body the sound of a well-known
00:20:09
children's nursery rhyme somehow began to emanate from it the officers were nervous to handle
00:20:16
the human dolls just as the first had emanated music others would somehow speak to them
00:20:23
upon being touched one corpse cried out the word mom while another emitted animal
00:20:29
growling sounds an examination of the corpses revealed music boxes in their chest
00:20:36
cavities in fact something had been placed in the chest cavity of nearly every corpse some contained random
00:20:44
household items such as soap or a pair of tights one had a stuffed toy heart another held a real dried human heart a
00:20:55
piece of gravestone was discovered in one human doll which which gave investigators the deceased girl's name
00:21:02
another contained a hospital tag with the victim's cause of death and the date she
00:21:07
died in total officers discovered 26 human dolls in anat mosin's apartment in the
00:21:19
garage anat Mosin was arrested and taken away for questioning to investigate his
00:21:25
surprise he was more than willing to talk Mosin started by telling the officers about his first experience with the
00:21:34
dad when he was 12 years old Mosin was participating in a waste paper collection exercise organized by his
00:21:42
school he and some other students were picking up papers along a street when they passed by a funeral home its front
00:21:49
door was open and Mosin could see an open casket inside he knew whose funeral service was
00:21:57
being held a few days earlier an 11-year-old girl from a neighboring school had been
00:22:03
electrocuted her name was Natasha Mosin recalled that all of the funeral attendees were dressed in black
00:22:11
holding candles and singing a mournful song in an unfamiliar language there were only adults at the
00:22:18
service no children from Natasha's school mosan and his peers were spotted by some of the men attending the service
00:22:28
for for some reason the men began to chase the children Mosin recalled running away in
00:22:34
fear but he was grabbed by one of the men and dragged inside the funeral home a woman stepped
00:22:41
forward she was in tears and holding a large Apple Mosin assumed she was Natasha's
00:22:49
mother the woman handed Mosin the apple and pushed him toward the open casket when Mosin was standing right
00:22:57
beside an Natasha's body the woman told him to kiss Natasha on the forehead Mosin refused and started to
00:23:06
cry someone put their hand on the back of his head and pushed it down he felt he had no choice but to
00:23:13
kiss the dead Natasha he was made to do this three times Mosin was then handed two copper
00:23:22
Rings he was instructed to place one on Natasha's finger and one on his own while repeating an old Russian
00:23:31
phrase Mosin was then escorted along with all of the others to the cemetry there he watched as they lowered
00:23:39
Natasha's coffin into the ground Natasha's mother threw some dirt on top of the coffin and motioned for
00:23:46
Mosin to do the same after the burial they handed him some fruit and a little bit of
00:23:53
cash as soon as they let go of him Mosin ran Mosin threw the fruit away but bought
00:24:01
some books with the money while he didn't understand exactly what had happened he couldn't shake the feeling
00:24:08
that Natasha's funeral had also been a [Music] wedding that childhood experience
00:24:17
sparked anatol mosin's lifelong fascination with burials and funeral RS it was during his later studies of this
00:24:25
subject that he leared of several cultures that practiced the art of resurrecting the
00:24:31
dead Mosin insisted that his interest in the deceased girls was in no way sexual
00:24:37
it was paternal for a long time Mosin had wanted to become a father he told officers that nearly 10 years earlier in
00:24:47
2003 he had applied to adopt a girl from a local orphanage neither of his parents had
00:24:53
supported his application and the assessors finding that Mosin was too financially unstable rejected his
00:25:02
application upon learning of his rejection Mosin grew upset he decided to calm his nerves by
00:25:10
taking a walk through one of his favorite cemeteries crash Nia retar during his stroll he noticed the
00:25:17
unassuming grave of a 10-year-old girl adorned with a wreath of flowers and framed by a small metal
00:25:25
fence at that moment he made a decision [Music] Vision the following night of Friday May
00:25:34
9 Mosin returned to the girl's grave using a chisel he began carefully clearing away the dirt on the top of the
00:25:42
Grave after some time he reached the coffin he dug the Chisel into the wood of the coffin's lid and began to create
00:25:51
a large hole he reached down into the coffin and dragged the girl's body out through the hole
00:25:59
her corpse was already substantially decomposed and covered in maggots Mosin brushed them off to better see her
00:26:07
burial outfit she was wearing a white blouse and a black skirt with tights and shoes
00:26:14
her long blonde hair was still intact Mosin swept all of the dirt back on top of the coffin so that the grave
00:26:22
looked undisturbed he then carefully wrapped the girl's remains and hid them in a
00:26:27
different part of the cemetery Mosin returned home and began to create a workshop space in his
00:26:34
building's basement days later he went back to the cemetery to retrieve the girl's body and
00:26:41
took her home there he mixed together a specific combination of soda and salt then placed
00:26:48
the girl's remains in the mix his goal was to dry the corpse out it took months for the process to be
00:26:57
complete when it was done Mosin wrapped the girl's face and hands and dressed her in
00:27:03
some secondhand clothes finally he painted on some facial features Mosin had his first
00:27:12
doll it was Olga Chari [Music] MOA from that moment on anatali Mosin was determined to to make more dolls he
00:27:30
watched the local news closely and scoured the internet searching for reports of young girls who had been
00:27:36
killed or died in accidents when he came across a potential candidate he noted the date she was due to be buried and in
00:27:44
which cemetery at night he would visit her grave often sleeping on top of the fresh
00:27:50
dirt for hours he said that if he felt a good intentions emanating from the child's
00:27:57
spirit he would dig her up and mummify her many of the girls were orphans Mosin journaled extensively
00:28:06
about each of his Cemetery visits and the subsequent mummification process in the intervening periods he would exume
00:28:13
women's Graves to steal clothes from the corpses he took the garments home and washed them so he could dress each new
00:28:21
doll in a special outfit Mosin told police officers that he considered all of his dolls to be his
00:28:30
daughters he read to them sang to them and set them all up in the living area so they could watch cartoons
00:28:38
together Mosin said that he and his dolls had their own language and celebrated their own
00:28:44
holidays their Spirits communicated with him Mosin had his favorites which were kept in his
00:28:52
bedroom if he lost interest in a particular doll he would move her to the garage
00:28:58
sometimes he grew to dislike certain dolls so much that he returned them to their
00:29:04
graves the 26 corpses that the officers found in their search had only been his current cohort in the last 9 years Mosin
00:29:14
had exhumed and mummified the bodies of more than 80 young [Music] girls the youngest and most recently
00:29:24
acquired corpse belonged to a 2-year-old girl who Mosin called called Masha just a few months earlier in the
00:29:31
summer Masha had been on a road trip to Crimea with her family for a Seaside vacation about halfway into the journey
00:29:40
a driver in another vehicle made an illegal maneuver and crashed into maser's Family's
00:29:45
car Mash's older brother sustained a severe laceration to his stomach but survived masher and her parents died
00:29:56
instantly soon after the accid inent the family were buried in a cemetery in the
00:30:00
northwest of n a few months later in early October Mosin dug up Mash's grave he was especially interested in
00:30:10
what clothes she had been buried in after he pulled Mash's remains out of the coffin he saw that she was wearing
00:30:18
an elaborate white dress Mosin told officers that he was disappointed to find the upper half of
00:30:26
Mash's body had already begun to decompose which was not suitable for his purposes Mash's lower half however was
00:30:34
still intact Mosin bisected Mash's corpse he wrapped her upper body in a rag and
00:30:42
reburied it carelessly leaving some of her bones strewn around her grave he placed masa's lower half and her burial
00:30:50
gown in a bag and took them home after Mosin mummified Mash's partial remains he had attached them to
00:30:58
the head and torso of an actual porcelain doll he then redressed the hybrid doll
00:31:05
in Mash's white burial gown it wasn't the first time he'd done that once he had even sewn a teddy
00:31:13
bear's head on top of a homemade doll Mosin told officers that he was waiting for science to catch up with his
00:31:21
work he believed one day it would advance to a point that his dolls could actually be resurrected and brought to
00:31:29
life Anatoli Mosin was charged with multiple counts of desecrating human remains and their burial sides he was
00:31:38
held in custody pending trial while officers commenced the difficult task of contacting his victim's
00:31:46
families despite being constantly tormented by the notes left on their daughter's grave Olga Chim moa's parents
00:31:53
Natalia and eagor had managed to rebuild their lives after 14 months of Separation The couple
00:32:01
rekindled their marriage in 2009 Natalia gave birth to their second child a son they named
00:32:10
Alexi Natalia felt that her faith in life had been restored when Natalia and eigor were
00:32:18
informed of mosin's capture and what he had done to wga's remains they were horrified Natalia later told reporters
00:32:28
my girl had been murdered if anyone deserved to rest in peace she did but instead her grave has been
00:32:38
robbed the police strongly advised the couple not to view the doll that Mosin had created from Olga's remains they
00:32:46
told Natalia and eigor that the site was too grotesque to ensure the investigation
00:32:54

00:33:53
daughter in his bedroom I had her for 10 years he had her for nine after mosin's arrest his parents
00:34:07
were interviewed by police they said that they did never notice the foul smell inside the apartment and had no
00:34:14
idea that the dolls were actually human bodies they had just thought their son had a strange but harmless
00:34:22
hobby for around 6 months each year they left the city to stay in their country Treehouse they had no idea what he got
00:34:30
up to while they were away during mosin's extensive interviews he admitted to much more than the
00:34:38
creation of his dolls he explained that he was also responsible for desecrating the graves
00:34:45
of Muslim women around the city these crimes had nothing to do with the airport bomb attack instead Mosin
00:34:54
was angry about a civil claim he'd brought against one of the rep representatives of the local Muslim
00:35:00
Community after the Court ruled against him mosan began vandalizing the graves in
00:35:07
retaliation Mosin expressed no regret or remorse for any of his actions except in

Nishi while in custody Mosin confessed to his cellmate that he' actually committed those
00:35:46
Crimes by the time Mosin was arrested sharov had already been released from Psychiatric

00:36:11
was thoroughly assessed by psychologists and psychiatrists according to their findings Mosin suffered from paranoid
00:36:20
schizophrenia the court found that anat mosin's mental disorder impaired his ability to understand the nature and
00:36:27
social impact of his actions Mosin knew what he'd done was illegal but he didn't believe it was
00:36:35
wrong he maintained this conviction throughout even telling the girls family members who were present in the
00:36:42
courtroom quote you abandoned your girls in the cold I brought them home and warmed them
00:36:50
up the court found Mosin was not criminally responsible for his actions and ordered that he be subject objected
00:36:57
to compulsory medical measures in a secure psychiatric facility until such time as he no longer posed a threat to
00:37:06
others mosin's compulsory treatment was reassessed every 6 months each time the measures were
00:37:15
extended over the years the chief physician at the facility in which Mosin was being held petitioned the court for
00:37:22
Mosin to be declared incompetent such a classification would allow Mosin to be placed in home care or
00:37:30
an open facility rather than being permanently locked up Mosin would still continue treatment and supervision but
00:37:38
would be allowed to move about the city freely on Tuesday August 2 2022 after nearly 10 years insecure custody The
00:37:49
District Court approved the petition and Mosin was reclassified however as of the date of
00:37:56
this recording MOS has not been moved to home care and his treatment in a secure
00:38:01
facility continues Natalia Chim mova has shared concern about mosin's potential release
00:38:11
stating I worry that one day he will convince them he's sane and he'll come out and start his morbid activities
00:38:19
again this concern is heightened by a remark mosan made to police as they removed the corpses from his home
00:38:28
quote don't bury them too deep because the moment I get out I'm going to come back for
00:38:36
them all that Natalia and Eagle want is for their daughter to finally rest in peace they have reburied Olga's remains
00:38:45
in an unmarked grave in an undisclosed location [Music] for
