Twice the president of Lithuania (1919-20 and 1926-40), the authoritarian ruler of the state from 1926-1940, Smetona established his role as a capable and needed politician in Lithuania?s political life, a middle person between the political left and right. The study characterizes Smetona?s closest and most important associates, who helped him to formulate legislation for his model of presidential regime, the nationalistic ideology, and the development of national economy. Despite its authoritarian tendencies Smetona?s rule surprisingly continued to be for many Lithuanians a symbol of Lithuanian independence and national freedom through the years of Soviet occupation. 410 0$aOn the boundary of two worlds ;$vVolume 42. 606 $aPresidents$zLithuania$vBiography 607 $aLithuania$xPolitics and government$y1918-1945 607 $aLithuania$xForeign relations$y1918-1940 615 0$aPresidents 676 $a947.930841 700 $aEidintas$b A$g(Alfonsas),$01580224 702 $aSenn$b Erich 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910797587903321 996 $aAntanas Smetona and his Lithuania$93860988 997 $aUNINA
