Yes, some people are still nostalgic for the Ullmanis dictatorship.

Ulmanis's regime came to place in 1934, there were still 14 years of
democracy.

Distortions..

President Ulmanis was *elected* in open elections.

President Ulman was seized by invading russian military bandits and
murdered in 1940.

After June 1940, Latvia never regained her democracy until the
collapse of the russian soviet state.
