Why would any American citizens travel to Russia ?

In light of their disturbing practice of framing American tourists for invented "crimes",and sticking them in labor camps to be used as obvious political bargaining chips,why would any American citizens in their right mind risk going to Russia?This is not just a retorichal question;I really want to know!

My parents went there, a very long time ago. I think it was the early 70's. And my father definitely worked for US Army intelligence. We found confirmatory paperwork after he died. THEY weren't arrested. But things were a lot different 50 years ago. Brezhnev was their leader back then.
