The Berlin Wall was not built by Russia but by East Germany, officially known as the German Democratic Republic (GDR), with the backing of the Soviet Union. It was erected on August 13, 1961, to prevent East Germans from fleeing to West Berlin and, by extension, to West Germany. The wall became a symbol of the Cold War division between the communist East and the democratic West. The Soviet Union, under Nikita Khrushchev's leadership, supported the decision to build the wall as part of its efforts to maintain control over Eastern Europe.
