As noted the second one is a St Petersburg City Council Fee Stamp
The date is the problem as there are lots of issues including a perfed series
I would estimate 1910/11

re: Russia ID? Cyrillic type
If you Google "stamps with cyrillic writing" there is a site which shows all countries containing Cyrillic writing. We are very spoiled now! I remember the first stamp I had from this area, it took about a year of occasional looking to figure it out. Life is so much easier with Mr. Google to help us!!!!
Changed my mind on this - should have deciphered the Cyrillic and the very old catalog I used is rather difficult to read and seemed to indicate 1911
So that would probably make it 1865 and the Forbin catalog I checked would agree and lists it as "POLICE URBAlNE"

This one reads S.P.B. City Council Duma
This is the 1883 issue and rough translation City authorities/regulations
This stamps says "St Petersburg City Council" but there were also stamps in this same design first with the word "Police" instead of "Council" (and also a version with "Duma", the city's governing council).
Barefoot lists them all under "St Petersburg Police Passes" and says they were used on residence permits.
The imperf Politsiya issue was from 1860, the Duma and Upravie design appeared imperf in 1865.
Perf versions of the Upravie stamps were issued from 1885 and finally there was a similar design in around 1915 where the city's name was changed to "Petrograd".

re: Russia ID? Cyrillic type
I too had assumed the second was a fiscal and related to the justice system based on the terms used on the stamp but I couldn't figure out a time frame. My albums are laid out by issue date, not separated into Scott layout so the rough estimate of issue date is very helpful. Thanks so much.
