Which type? Coupling? Electrolytic?

Do your caps look like this one:

The top line transliterates: "sdelano v SSSR" or "made in the USSR."

I have no idea what the second line means.

The third line reads 0.1μF + or - 10%. I'm thiking that mkΦ means μF or "microFarad" here.

I have no idea what the other two lines mean.

To help transliterate Cyrillic characters, see this page:

There is a chart that shows how the Russian tube numbering system works, but it gives a good explanation of how to transliterate Cyrillic to Latin characters.

HTH,

Le Basseur	The second line indicates the materials involved in that specific cap (paper in oil,metallised polypropilene foil,etc).

Le Basseur	...and the last four-digit number is the year and month of production.
