Very interested in learning about this scenarios that are usually not discussed as much as what you typically read from anti communists in the media.

I actually had a couple of professors from the physics department in my uni here in Brasil who lived for some years in the URSS to get their PHD. Never talked about it with them though
I've noticed a lot of my physics and higher mathematics professors are Russian and lived in the USSR for a good portion of their lives. I was curious about whether this was particularly common and why but hadn't really considered it too much until I saw your comment. Was higher education just particularly easy to obtain?
It's probably because it was cheaper than going to the US, and they were doing top-tier science.
