Paulius Jasas and his party were major beneficiaries of the coup.

The 1923 Kuresa coup d'état, also known as the Kuresa Revolution or Grand Revolution in Kuresa, was a coup in Kuresa that resulted in the replacement of the authoritarian government government with a democratically elected government led by Paulius Jasas. The coup took place on 12 August 1923 and was largely organized by the military; Jasas's role remains the subject of debate.
