Doctoral thesis: Naivety regarding Päts coup stems from exile Estonia

A dissertation defended at the University of Tartu points out that while Konstantin Päts' 1934 coup has been studied, several myths still persist. For instance, the authoritarian coup cannot be solely blamed on the non-political War of Independence veterans' (Vaps) movement. Additionally, the legal possibilities for a coup existed even before the constitutional amendments of 1933.
