Russian police have started a new campaign called "Safe Selfies."

The campaign comes after an alarming number of Russians have either been killed or injured while taking photos of themselves with smartphones.

At least 10 Russians have been killed and 100 injured while taking selfies this year.

The Russian government has created a brochure that warns against standing on railroad tracks, climbing onto roofs or posing with a gun or a tiger. According to CNN, the brochure claims, "A cool selfie can cost you your life."
