А вас... Oi, atvainojos! Vai jūs kaut mazliet nemulsina tas, ka gļēvums un stūrgalvība lai arī nav pretmeti, tomēr arī diez ko labi neiet kopā? Un pasaciņas par to, cik labi būtu palikt neitrāliem varat stāstīt ukraiņiem, viņi to jau "izbauda". Somija arī zin, kā tas ir būt vienatnē, pret pārspēku, un Šveice pilnīgi neko nespētu padarīt, ja Hitleram būtu pieticis laika "pievērst tai uzmanību", tā teikt.

+Уроки истории. The Lessons of History
Not just bloodless, the regime was sort of unique in that it wasn't a single party state, like fascist/communist regimes, Ulmanis forbid all parties, including the one he belonged to before the coup. Unfortunately it was stupidly nationalist, for example, my grand-grandmother had problems to find a job, because her surname was not typically Latvian. Well, duh, she was from Latgale region, what a surprise! So she actually did greet Soviet tanks with flowers, since Ulmanis was afraid to anger USSR, so media was censored on issues regarding Soviet atrocities, thus what Soviets actually are (repressions, mass shootings and restrictions on basis of ethnicity) came as an unpleasant surprise.

Citizenship is not a question of ethnicity, it's inheritance - my father in-law, ethnic Russian, is a citizen, since his ancestors were citizens of Latvia, but my mother in-law is not, since she arrived in then Soviet Latvia in 1970s and none of her ancestors were citizens of interwar republic, but their kids, including my wife, are citizens. Quite simple - the state has no obligations to provide citizenship just like that to non-citizens, except kids born in Latvia after year 2000, even if their parents are non-citizens of Latvia, and this citizenship was not granted under international or Russian pressure, it's the result of a referendum.
