TheÊEast Side Gallery, Thank You, Andrei Sakharov, Entitled ÔThank You, Andrei Sakharov' (ÔDanke, Andrei Sakharov'), this simple portrait was painted by Dmitri Vrubel and Viktoria Timofeeva in honour ofÊSovietÊnuclear physicist, dissident and human rights activist Andrei Sakharov. Having worked to design thermonuclear weapons for the Soviet Union, Sakharov later became an advocate of civil liberties and civil reform, facing state persecution for his activism. These efforts earned him the Nobel Peace Prize in 1975. He died in 1989, just a few weeks after the Wall fell. 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.Berlin, Germany, 19/10/2019
