Welcome to the forum!
Can you get any better pictures, perhaps with larger images? It's kind of hard to see too many details. Also, are you looking for an ID on the maker, on the units which the figures are painted to represent, or both? ID'ing the maker might be difficult. ID'ing the units will be a little easier, thought if you could get some larger images, that would make it easier. Though, I'll say, they look like the all depict units from armies in the Napoleonic wars.
Prost!

Hi,
They are all Napoleonic era Russians, and marketed as 25mm figures for wargamers (though wargaming manufacturers have always played fast and loose with sizes and scales). They would all have been sold originally as unpainted castings. They are all still available:
Your two infantry lots are by MiniFigs - Miniature Figurines Ltd, formally of Southampton UK but now owned by Caliver Books.
The Artillery are by Hinchliffe Models, as are the cossacks (4).
The final cavalry unit are again MiniFigs.
cheers,
d.
