The disturbing incident caught on camera has left the woman with serious head injuries, say local reports.
The victim has been nicknamed Anna Karenina on social media, says Baikal Daily website, but it is unclear why she only seemed to flinch from the oncoming tram at the last minute.
There is also surprise that the driver did not slow sooner.
