I have had many of these leaky brand new (NOS)
the paper in oil?
I plan on testing them each for leakage before use

Yes, russian PIO's
I have one right now in my older DIY amp squeaking after testing 3 yrs ago
My plan is to let them sit at 400VDC with a bench power supply and measure leakage with my Simpson 260 on the 50uA scale, before I go ahead and put them into the amplifiers. I don't have an actual capacitor leakage tester but I think this improvisation should be good enough to check things out.. got plenty of old wax caps and new orange drop/dip types to use as a baseline.
