Could 61 be Bulgarian? I think their variant of Cyrillic uses those characters.
Nope, the only language written in Cyrillic that uses ћ is Serbo-Croat. (Or now we would say Serbian, since Croatian isn’t written in Cyrillic any more.) I had a year of Serbo-Croatian, so I am pretty confident about this.

Bulgarian is written in a subset of the Russian alphabet (by which I mean there are no letters used in Russian that aren’t also used in Bulgarian, although ъ occurs a whole lot more frequently in Bulgarian, where it’s a vowel).
If 74 is Ukrainian, why isn't it in Cyrillic? Might it not be Czech or another Slavic language that uses the Roman alphabet?
Some of these are in the original writing systems, and some of them are transcribed. I think they’ve been collected from a lot of different sources.

(By the way, in the 19th Century, Ukranian was written in Roman letters in some regions. But that’s not what this is.)
