A Russian historian gruesomely decorated his home with 29 mummified female bodies he dug up from local graveyards and dressed as life-sized dolls, authorities said.

The 45-year-old man, who police released a photo of, but not his name, was arrested last week for desecrating dead bodies and their burial sites, according to the Russian news agency, RIA Novosti.

He reportedly dug up the bodies at cemeteries throughout the city of Nizhny Novgorod, about 250 miles from Moscow, over a two-year period.
