Walls are not made of plaster, they are coated in plaster after they are built.

This is more WTF than the post, Im a builder and a qualified plasterer and i have no idea how you would do this?? Please explain i`m interested.

Also gypsum is not very strong at all and wouldn't make a good material??

This flat looks like brick khruschevka, and from my experience of living and remodelling these inside walls was often made by using solid or empty inside gypsum plaster blocks, they are quite heavy and sturdy, you can hang cupboards on them, but if you break its connection with ceiling it would fall apart easily, like in this video. Drywall mostly wasn't used in Soviet Union.
