> While the vinyl sheets used to print x-rays were much flimsier than records

I doubt the Soviets were making X-rays on vinyl. They would be using acetate like the rest of the world. The record industry was also still using shellac based media in the 50's. Vinyl was not a "thing" back then.



Off by one decade. Shellac compound -> LP changeover occurred in the 50's in most of the world.


Late 50's. Vinyl wasn't common until the 60's.
