2024 incident

Main article: Death of Arina Glazunova

On September 27, 2024, a 24-year-old Russian influencer named Arina Glazunova, died while filming a selfie video.[4][5] She was walking backwards, tripped over the edge of an underground subway passage, and fell in, causing her to fracture her skull and later die.[6][7] The subway passage did not have rails was slightly raised by 30 centimeters around the edge which made it hard to see at eye level.[8] The absence of a rail or barrier sparked outrage online and concern that a similar situation could happen. The video of her fall went viral on TikTok and barriers were subsequently installed around the subway entrance to prevent future incidents from occurring.
