The Russian government just published a guide for taking 'safe selfies' after a series of selfie-related deaths
The Russian government has launched a campaign to keep young Russians from taking dangerous selfies, according to the Izvestia newspaper.
On Tuesday, the Russian Interior Ministry released an illustrated guide warning people about the dangers of taking selfies. The booklet is complete with pictures of people taking selfies on boats, in front of an oncoming train, and standing on a rooftop, accompanied by captions like: "A selfie on railroads is a bad idea, if you value your life," and "A selfie with animals isn't always nice."
