Interesting thing about Russian coins of that period; the first letter of the mintmark tells which city the mint was in and the second letter, an “M”, stood for “монета” or “mint”. The main facilities were Ekaterinburg (EM), Annensk (AM), Kolyvan (KM), Moscow (MM), Sestroretsk in Finland (CM), St. Petersburg (СПМ), and Feodesia in the Crimea (TM). I can't ID the mint mark in the middle coin.
