From what I remember about Russian products only two signs are widely spread "contains phenylalanine" and "contains nuts" (probably because these allergies are deadly)
I have seen "contains nuts" only on imported products. There is no such allergy known in Russia.

Wheat allergy is even less heard of. I think people may not trust you if you say you have an allergy on wheat. On the other hand I seen Russian people (mostly women) who were confident that they had allergies on anything you can imagine (actually they had not but they ascribed any illness to allergy).

Anyway I suggest you to take anti-histamine drugs if you eat something which you suspect may trigger allergy. They are very cheap in Russia.
