Russians have their quirks regarding denied history[1] but I highly doubt that tsars would be one of them – at least to the extent that one would get thrown into prison.
1: For example I think that they still teach in schools that the Winter War between Finland and Soviet Union during WWII was started by the Finns. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winter_War#Shelling_of_Mainila

You are definitely allowed to ask any type of questions regarding tsar and history. This is not Soviet Union anymore. Back in the day people would be arrested for simply talking about history and old tsar regime.
You will probably get mixed answers from various people. Some will try to make Russia look good in front of a foreigner, some will be strongly opinionated and tell you more than you want to hear, others will pretend they know something, which in fact they don't. Overall, ask as many people as you can and you'll be able to form your own opinion based on the answers you receive. Don't feel embarrassed asking questions and definitely don't be scared asking.
