Re: Antique Instruments; One Russian One Unknown
It looks like the other might be a balilaika....
The balalaika (Russian: балала́йка, pronounced [bəɫɐˈɫajkə]) is a Russian stringed musical instrument with a characteristic triangular body and three strings
I wouldn't know about its value or rarity, but I would guess by the look of it, that you have a very vintage instrument. I hope someone can help you out further. I would love to know too!
All the best!
