It wasn't easy, but a (small) number of people managed.  Naturally, hard to
do in Russian heartland, but in numerous areas, the border leaked just
enough to allow an occasional adventurer through.  The largest break, the
fall of the Berlin Wall, came in 1989 already.

Even earlier than that, a popular "official" vehicle was Gorbachev's joint
venture programme, as joint ventures were given a considerable leeway in
communicating with the outside world.

In the end years, borders were mostly in the mind.  I took my own first
foreign trip in 1994, to compete on a Finnish mathematics contest -- note
the year being three years after Estonia's restoration and several more
years after relative freedom to cross Estonian-Finnish border --, and still,
the very idea that it was *possible* to travel to foreign countries was
quite striking for me.
