TheÊEast Side Gallery, The Berlin Wall, a former symbol of division, is now the world's largest open-air gallery, featuring 105 murals by artists from across the globe. Fraternal Kiss, Russian artist Dmitri Vrubel's ÔMy God, Help Me to Survive This Deadly Love', commonly known as ÔFraternal Kiss', depicts theÊfamous embraceÊbetween Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev and East German President Erich Honecker at the 30th anniversary of the creation of the German Democratic Republic in 1979. In March 2009, following the deterioration of the artwork as a result of vandalism and atmospheric conditions, the painting was erased from the Wall and Vrubel was commissioned to repaint the piece.
