	Talk:Kārlis Ulmanis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		No political parties were allowed to function after 1934 (not even Ulmanis' Farmers' Union), broad censorship was introduced, the autonomy of minority schools was drastically scaled back, and political life was reorganized into a camera system in an Einmannherrschaft (i.e., there wasn't even a rubber-stamp legislative body).
		There was an authoritarian ideology and a policy of "Latvianization" that especially affected the Jews and Baltic Germans (though Ulmanis did crack down on anti-Semitism and was a personal friend of one of the most important Jewish leaders), leading to capital flight.
		Even Dunsdorfs, who is often effusive in his praise for Ulmanis at other points in the statesman's career, is highly critical of the dictatorship, noting that no one in the history of Latvia's independence did so much to polarize society.

	Central Europe Review - Latvia: The outgoing President
		As much as Ulmanis set a major precedent in his role as President for six years, his successor will equally affect Latvia in how she holds up to the high examples Ulmanis set.
		Many claim that Ulmanis exceeded the spirit of the presidency's powers, but he can be seen to have established the president's office as an effective and active player on the political scene.
		Despite his authoritarian tendencies in the 1930s, Karlis Ulmanis represented free Latvia for most Latvians, and his deportation by the occupying Soviets (along with tens of thousands of others) from Latvia in 1940 still haunts the nation.

		It appeared that Ulmanis was already considering such a step when forming the new cabinet48 — if the make-up of the cabinet and changes in personnel in other government and military posts are any indication.
		Their armed action in May provided Ulmanis with the opportunity to justify the coup on the basis of a threat from the left and the right and avoided the appearance that the security measures were a one-sided action directed at the Social Democrats.
		Ulmanis was impressed also by the strong executive powers enjoyed by the president of the United States.

	History of Latvia: A brief synopsis
		Following the Russian Revolution of 1917, Latvia declared its independence on November 18, 1918, and, after a confused period of fighting, the new nation was recognized by Soviet Russia and Germany in 1920.
		A government was formed by the leader of the Farmers' Union, Karlis Ulmanis.
		The German minority became Nazified, and Ulmanis had to suppress the Latvian branch of the Baltischer Bruderschaft ("Baltic Brotherhood"), whose program was the incorporation of the Baltic state into the Third Reich; but a Latvian fascist organization called Perkonkrust ("Thundercross") developed fierce propaganda.

		But Ulmanis wasn't elected president for his political acumen, but rather because of his dead uncle, Karlis Ulmanis-the still-revered Latvian president during the country's first period of independence, 1920-1940.
		Considered steady but slightly dull, Ulmanis does not seem to have the innate political instincts of other leading Latvian politicians; nor does he seem to have the brain power and self-confidence of Estonian President Meri.
		Not only has Ulmanis proven he can be a stabilizing force in government, but, with his reelection in 1996, he also demonstrated he has more political sense than anyone was previously willing to give him credit for.
