The man who painted the world-famous Berlin Wall mural, commonly known as 'The Kiss', which became a symbol of the end of the Cold War, died aged 62 on Sunday night.

Dmitri Vrubel was born in Moscow and has lived in Berlin since 2010.

His most iconic work is the graffiti on a remnant of the wall titled 'My God, help me survive this deadly love', which depicts a kiss between Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev and Erich Honecker, who led the former East Germany . The mural was inspired by a photo from a meeting between the two.

The graffiti was painted in 1990, just months after the fall of the Wall and the reunification of Germany by the end of the year.

"For many years I lived my private life, while the painting lived its own life." – said Vrubel to 'The Calvert Journal' in 2014.

"In the early 2000s, people started bringing souvenirs from Berlin, magnets, mugs and the like with the 'Kiss' mural on them, which were now being sold not only at the East Side Gallery, but all over the city."

The artwork was destroyed in 2009 when the Berlin authorities were carrying out renovations. This upset Vrubel, who then painted a new version of 'The Kiss'. His death was announced by several Russian journalists on Monday morning.

The artist's wife, Viktoria Timofeyeva, wrote on social networks last month that Vrubel had been hospitalized with complications from Covid-19 and his health had deteriorated significantly.
