	Central Europe Review - Latvia: The outgoing President
		After the long gap during the Soviet occupation from 1940 to 1991 (excluding 1941-44, when Latvia fell under Nazi occupation), the foundations of the office established by the four presidents of the Interwar years needed to be re-established.

		However, the inactivity of the third president, Alberts Kviesis (1930-36), in reacting to the authoritarian rule of then-Prime Minister Karlis Ulmanis in 1934 remains a question.

		Cakste's memorial was neatly kept, though time had taken its toll.
		Loose blocks along the framng walkways, raised inscription letters pried loose from the stone (left), weeds growing out along the upper mortar joints in the gracefully curving memorial wall (right, and below), left me hoping Cakste's memorial would some day be fully restored.
