This is a great pair of insects in Baltic Amber. They are True Midges (Chironomidae) from Russia. Both flies have great detail preserved. The flies are easily seen trapped within the honey-colored amber piece. This is a nice set of insects entombed in fossil resin (large close-up photo is included for free).
