The song “America the beautiful” (My country tis of thee, sweet land of liberty...) was put to the music for “God save the queen”.

Does your logic mean this song was secret advocacy for the queen

"America the Beautiful" took its melody from "Oh, Mother Dear, Jerusalem" You're thinking of "America."

Vast Country, My Homeland is still popular in Russia, but the current version probably doesn't include the line "in big gold letters, we write the Stalinist code."
