How do you write X Soviet Union?

The USSR used the Cyrillic script, as does Russia. The character "X" in Cyrllic is tranlsated into the Roman alphabet as "KH" and is pronounced as the "CH" in "loch" (as in the Scottish Loch Ness). There is a discernable difference between "CH" and "K", but I cannot pick up on it myself. There is no character in Cyrillic that represents the sound "X" (as in English). Should the need to express the sound "X" arise, it would be represented by "EKS", or in Cyrillic "ЭКС". Example - the English word "tour (or excursion)" in Russian is "ekskursiya" in Romanised form or, "ЭКСКУРСИЯ" in Cyrillic.
