The top one is Russia #169 in the Yvert & Tellier catalog, issued in 1922, technically a USSR stamp.
The bottom one is from one of the many temporary postal administrations that sprouted during the Russian Counter-Revolutionary War in 1919-20. It could be from Southern Russia, but I'm not a specialist of these troubled times...

I think they are also listed as Siberia in SG. .
The first issue above surcharged 100,000 ryb illustrated the galloping inflation of the decade following WWI . The original issue was for 250rybles .
Similar inflation surcharges occur in Germany issues around the same time.
Strictly speaking in philately where an “ overprint “ changes the value on a stamp it is referred to as a “surcharge”
