He then took them home and turned them into a grisly mummy collection, dressing the bodies and skeletons in stockings and dresses, and even making one look like a teddy bear.
Moskvin, who speaks 13 languages and was described by some as 'a genius', also gave the mummified corpses names and organised birthday parties for them.
A video made by Moskvin and found at his apartment by investigators showed a corridor cluttered with wedding dresses and bright, colourful clothes.
In a room the camera zoomed in on the faces of the girls' faces, wrapped in light beige fabric. His voice over on the video said: "These dolls are made of mummified human remains."
Police said Moskvin also compiled up-to-date information about the lives of each girl he had dug up and printed off instructions on a computer for how to produce dolls out of human remains.
His macabre obsession was discovered when his parents visited him after returning from holiday.
The 46-year-old from the city of Nizhni Novgorod in central Russia was arrested in 2011, but it has now emerged he will not stand trial for his appalling crimes.
In a 2007 interview with the newspaper Nizhegorodsky Rabochy, or Nizhny Novgorod Worker, Moskvin said he had inspected 752 cemeteries, often traveling some 20 miles a day by foot to find them.
He said he drank from puddles, spent nights in haystacks or at abandoned farms and once even slept in a coffin readied for a funeral.
He said he was repeatedly questioned by police, who then always let him go.
A prosecution spokesman said: "After three years of monitoring him in a psychiatric clinic it is absolutely clear that Moskvin is not mentally fit for trial.
"He will therefore be kept for psychiatric treatment at the clinic."
