The spectacular images show the young woman poised on the edge of buildings, draped over precarious roofs and balanced on narrow spike.

The Russian adrenaline-junkee has since become a viral sensation with her breath-taking images.

Nikolau is described by Russian media as a "self-taught photographer, adventurer and roofer from Moscow", with the term roofing - also known as rooftopping - describing the terrifying trend where people get as close as possible to the edge of a skyscraper's highest point to take selfies.

The astonishing set of snaps show off Angelina's dizzying combination of catwalk poses.

The fearless model has since earned herself a legion of fans with the young woman also captioning her images with inspiring quotes.

One snap of her relaxing in shorts and a top as she sunbathes just inches away from a sheer drop to the ground is captioned: "Enjoy every moment."

On another - as she stands on another rooftop ledge in a billowing dress revealing bikini pants - she says: "My life will never be the same again."

Others on the account show her dancing on top of a building overlooking the Kremlim in her home town Moscow while another shows her posing in front of a night time cityscape as she stands precariously balanced on a guard rail.

Her antics have earned her a spread in one of Russia's most popular online fashion magazines Fashiony and an army of amazed fans.

One Russian social media user identified as nataliamnagles said: "I seriously don't get how this girl does this."

But another - just_joslyn - added: "Please stop doing this you're influencing others and you might get hurt. You're too young and pretty. It's not worth your life."

One called annemariesalen said: "Look at this girl's Insta it freaks me out."
