It's amazing how good Photoshop was in the 1930s.

I mean that for a mythological entity, there seem to be an awful lot of photographs of Joseph Stalin (this is called ‘sarcasm’, which you may not have in Croatia).

I've heard that they have it, but only the rich can afford it.

Should we start a GoFundMe to send sarcasm to underprivileged Croation?

Depends. If the entire point of the research is to support those conclusions..then it would be damning not to clearly state as much, to say nothing of how it would make the entire exercise fundamentally pointless on it's own merits.

Did this guy just really try to downplay Stalin?

You should only state what you are most certain is true in your thesis, right? I am far more certain *karr~kurr meant "to flow" in Illyrian than that Vukovar Massacre did not occur.

Actually, wrongness - not certainty - is the essence of science. It is by winnowing out wrong explanations that we arrive at the correct ones.
‘What are you doing?’
‘Science. I had an idea that turned out to be wrong.’
‘That’s a lot of charts and graphs.’
‘That’s because I was very wrong.’
‘What’s this paper here?’
‘My thesis. It’s a monument to my wrongness.’

As opposed to
"heres alot of charts and graphs"
-what are they for?
"ooooh......nothing......."
Still, props for doing any work at all. Most people don't invest this sort of time into their batshit ideas. I think it's a great thing if those beliefs lead you (in any way) to do some science. Alot of the time, we discover things in the process of being very very wrong.

A lot of science works that way, but I am quite sure theses do not. In a thesis, you should only state what you think you have discovered, not what you were wrong (or are not sure) about.
