Would appreciate it if anyone could identify which country each of these stamps is from. Thank you very much in advance.

From L-R: Russia (Western Army, 1919); Russia (1921); Russia (1909?); Russia (either the 1904 or the 1908-12 issue); and finally Ukraine (unissued, 1920, the tridents in the corners give it away as Ukraine).

The fourth stamp with the surcharge was issued in 1923.

The surcharge says RSFSR in Cyrillic script along with the star, hammer and sickle.

The second stamp also has the letters RSFSR at the top below POCHTA both in a cursive Cyrillic script.

I do have a question about your first 2 stamps. Was that common for no perforations at that time? I have seen that on a few stamps I have, and just curious. Thanks

Common given the state of flux after WWI, not just in war zones such as Russia, but also in newly established states such as Czechoslovakia.
