I know nothing about Mongolian butterflies, but here go a few suggestions:
1 - fritillary sp. (Melitaea cinxia or closely related)
2 - potentially a Polygonia interposita, in which case would be spp. adya
3 - Fritillary sp. (Melitaea phoebe group)
4 - Coenonympha sp. (perhaps C. hero?)
5 - surely looks like a Small Tortoiseshell, but I'm not sure about other options
 
Thanks Rafael, pointing me in the right direction anyway; I have not been able to find much on-line about Mongolian Butterflies though I know there is one very expensive monograph available
