The two dirks that Norman has posted are -
1.Soviet Model 1944 officer's dirk
and its predecessor.,
2.Russian Imperial Model 1803 naval officer's dirk.
The latter one was a regulation pattern, based on the period British examples, and similar to the one I posted above.
Funny enough, there was no regulation pattern British naval dirks until 1856, but other countries copied the popular British designs from the earlier times, and made them Pattern long before the Royal Navy got to pattern theirs.
