People have a fascination with inside North Korea. Was it like this during the existence of the USSR?

Many documentaries are made by Americans about inside North Korea. During the Cold War, were there many attempts by US filmmakers to get inside the Soviet Union and film there?

I have visited North Korea on holiday. Can the friendly historians comment on what were the options for the average Westerner to travel to the USSR in the 70a and 80s (say)?
