Death In Which My Google Alert for "Teddy Bear Corpse" Finally Pays Off

Posted by Cienna Madrid on Fri, Nov 4, 2011 at 3:50 PM

The Russian parents of a (reported) Russian genius were dismayed to discover that their Russian genius son allegedly enjoys visiting cemeteries, digging up lady corpses (of theoretical marriageable age), carting them home, and dressing up as dolls and teddy bears. Man oh man, I wish I understood Russian (NSFW?).

Russian media reported that Moskvina kept at least 26 bodies in his small, three-room apartment. They all belong to females aged between 15 and 26 who died years ago. The bodies were "dried up," Interfax reported.

Life News reported that Moskvina, who is a historian and was also involved in journalism, visited hundreds of cemeteries at night and dug up the bodies with a shovel. He then put the remains in plastic bags and dragged them to his home.

Once the bodies were in his apartment, Moskvina dressed the bodies up as dolls. Photos released by Life News showed one skeleton wearing a dress, stockings and other clothing while another body appeared to have been dressed as a teddy bear.

Moskvina was arrested by the Russian fun police but later released, and now nobody seems to know quite what to charge him with.

The giant picture of the fork stuck in a big ol' roast right below this story is almost enough to turn me vegetarian.

I always thought necrophelia was an urban legend.

Reminds me of Faulkner's story, "A Rose for Emily", about the old lady who sleeps next to the decaying corpse of her long-dead lover. The Zombies wrote a very pretty song about it:

Oh, Irena, if you post Zombies videos I might swoon a little.

Aren't they just perfect? "Care of Cell 44" was my favourite when I was a teen, falling in love for the first time. I was embarrassed to admit I liked them better than the Rolling Stones, back then. Silly me.
