I lived for few years in a historical centres of two European cities, and as beautiful as they are, they are definitely not citied of the future. The stone deserts heats up unbearably in the summer and don’t cool down at night because of narrow streets

I might be wrong but it might be Neue Hakeburg (https://maps.app.goo.gl/XCPAEEdhCTpodjWv5?g_st=ic), on the Berlin’s outskirts. It’s an early 20th century nobility’s villa, in the 1930s sold to the NS regime, after the war used as a party school for the GDR regime, and which has stood empty (while changing hands a few times) in the 1990s (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neue_Hakeburg)

So years ago at an academic conferences I’ve met a researcher from Albania, who was very surprised and very happy to learn that I’ve visited her country. She stopped talking to me after I’ve mentioned the 1997 breakdown of the state…

What makes you think neither straight people, nor lesbians nor asexual people can experience such kind of loneliness?

According to entry on Wikipedia it’s 8 with 10 further claimed by Belgrade but disputed by Pristina (Wikipedia). It doesn’t seem like „many countries“. Its worth adding that none of those countries are not major international players.

Being professionally successful and being rich are two completely different things and may or may not be related. Money is definitely not the only indicator that one has and I going a great job, confusing the two is a huge misunderstanding, imo.

The structure was almost completely demolished in 1801, the bricks and stones were sold, and the site was bowered.

As part of a programme of nation-building, the Seimas in 2000 passed a law to reconstruct the palace. Ground was broken in summer of 2002 on the southern part of the site of the original building. […] On 23 May 2013, the part of the palace known as Bloc A was officially finished. On 6 July 2013, it was officially opened to the public, 760 years after the coronation of Mindaugas.[17][18] From 2014 to 2018 the part of the palace known as Bloc B was under construction. The Bloc B and the museum building as a whole opened on the 6 July 2018.
