My God, Help Me to Survive This Deadly Love (1990), sometimes referred to as the Fraternal Kiss (German: Bruderkuss), is a Berlin Wall-painting by Dmitri Vrubel, depicting the kissing communist leaders Leonid Breshnew and Erich Honecker. The caption reads "Oh Gott, laß mich diese tödliche Liebe überleben" (English: "God help me to survive this deadly love affair)."
The painting was inspired by the "Sozialistische Bruderkuss" they had in 1979, during the celebration of the 30 years of the GDR.
In 2009 the painting was destroyed by the authorities, in order to have it repainted by Vrubel.
