"Unfortunately we have noted recently that the number of accidents caused by lovers of self-photography is constantly increasing," Yelena Alexeyeva, an aide to the interior minister, was quoted as saying.
The safety campaign uses road sign-style warning signs to highlight the dangers when taking photos. These include a figure holding a selfie stick on a rail line and one taking a selfie at the top of an electricity pylon.
A leaflet published by the interior ministry warned: "A cool selfie could cost you your life". Tips in the pamphlet include the cautionary note that "a selfie with a weapon kills".
