was 1979 and during the celebration of the thirtieth anniversary of the GDR, Regis Bossu captured in this iconic shot the kiss between Brezhnev and President of East Germany Erich Honecker ( a sign of traded mutual respect among fellow socialists) . The moment was captured by many photographers, but apparently only Bossu, waving from the back with his Nikon 80-200 mm telephoto lens, was able to steal the soul of the moment imprinting on a film, Kodak Tri-X b \\ n. ;
"The Kiss" was over the front pages of Western newspapers and about a decade later, in the weeks that followed the "fall" of the Berlin Wall, the Russian artist Dmitry Vrubel painted it on a piece of the barrier accompanying the image with the words "God help me survive this deadly love" . "The brotherly kiss" was the title of the Vrubel, was restored in November 2009 and is among the most famous paintings of the complex art of 'East Side Gallery .
