Interesting group greghoro!

The first one is a 1904 zemstvo (district) postage stamp from Kotelnich in Viatka province.

4 and 5 are bogus overprints, possibly made in Constantinople in the 1920s.

3 is a pair of 10 rouble stamps from the Civil War government of General Denikin in South Russia, issued May 1919. He was a White Russian general, very much on the losing side!

2 looks like a cutout from postal stationery, used in Georgia.

The imperf pair of blue stamps are from the USSR from around 1923 and they seem to have a Georgian "Tbilisi" postmark.

The imperf pair of red and black stamps are from General Denikin's anti-bolshevik army in South Russia in 1919 during the Russian Civil War.

The two Georgian stamps with a red boxed "CCCP" and star overprint are from a bogus set from 1921.

Greg, once again a bogus overprint on the Georgia stamp (all these bogus issues seem to be crudely overprinted in red).

The other is another postal stationery cutout, similar to the 6 kopek you showed, but used in Ekaterinburg by the look of it. I think these cutouts are from pre-printed letter stationery around 1923 or so, but I'm missing that section of Higgins and Gage so I can't tell you with any certainty.

Maybe an Ekaterinodar postmark?

The overprint on the two orange Georgian stamps was applied over each block of four.

In this case the overprint is a little high so we can just see two large initials with a date in the middle.

The date is supposed to read 1921 with 25 over 11 in the middle of the year (for 25th November 1921) but as Tim has said these overprints were very crudely printed.

The two stamps above would each have another large initial and there would also be a large star with a hammer and sickle in the centre.

Niger, you are absolutely correct with the postmark ID.
