I was always curious how people went to Uman during the time of Soviet Union, when the borders (for the most part) were closed?

They didn't.

there's a book called against all odds with the story of the first person that got in... very daring but after that it became more open to everyone.

I'm sure yechidim snuck in but since it was forbidden, by and large, people did not go.
