Anatoly Moskvin's fetish came to light when his parents came to visit him, reported Daily Mail.
He has the ability to speak 13 languages and is a historian who has authored several books.
Valery Gribakin, an official, said Moskvin from the Volga River city of Nizhny Novgorod would dig up the bodies from several cemeteries in the region.
Russian media reports said Moskvin only selected the remains of young women for his collection.
After taking the corpses home, he would dress up the bodies and skeletons in stockings and dresses. One body looked like a teddy bear.
