I once read that Tchaikovsky demonstrated his doubt in the russian
governement through his compositions. I was wondering if this was true,
and if so, where could I find more information about this?

Unike Shostakovich, for example, Tchaikovsky wasn't at all
politically-minded, and I think anyone would be hard pressed to find any
anti-establishment sentiments in his works (quite the opposite, in fact).
