The authorities say several recent incidents involving young people could have been avoided. In May, a 21-year-old woman survived accidentally shooting herself in the head while posing for a selfie with a gun inMoscow. There have also been several cases of children being electrocuted while taking selfies on top of railway carriages.

政府表示近期发生在年轻人身上的意外事故本可以避免。5月，一名21岁的莫斯科女性持手枪自拍时，不小心扣下扳机，击中头部受伤。还有几例事故是青少年在火车车厢顶部自拍时触电身亡。

"Today technical advances do not stand still, but with all the advantages there are new challenges and threats," ministry official Yelena Alekseyeva told reporters during the campaign's launch on Tuesday. "Our booklet reminds you of how to take a safe selfie, so it is not the last one you will ever take."

“当今技术发展并非止步不前，但是拥有所有的优势同时也存在新的挑战和威胁，俄罗斯内政部官员叶连娜·阿列克谢耶娃在活动发布现场对记者说，“我们的自拍指南会提醒你怎样安全地自拍，这样，你的自拍才不至于沦为你的遗作。
