The angles of one quadrilateral are equal to the angles another quadrilateral. In addition, the corresponding angles between their diagonals are equal. Are these quadrilaterals necessarily similar?

No, they might just be similar. Scaling is important. Is that a typo?

Since this was translated from Russian, I believe there is a typo (the quadrilaterals can obviously be similar, as previously pointed out).

Are these quadrilaterals necessarily congruent ? indeed there is a typo, the last word is similar and not congruent , thanks for noticing

Are these quadrilaterals necessarily similar? There is a counterexample when the qudrilateral can be concave. In the picture, $H$ is the orthocenter of $\triangle ABC$. $E$ is an arbitrary point on $DH$ , and $F$ is the point on $AC$ with $EF \parallel CH$. quadrilateral $ABHC $and $ABEF$ has same angles, and both has vertical diagonals. ($\because E$ is the orthocenter of $\triangle ABF$)
