What are psh and rzh flours

I'm finding these in Eastern European recipes (written in English}. 

Thanks.

psh stands for wheat, and rzh stands for rye.

Thanks, that's what I thought, but "wheat' isn't specific enough to be useful.

Well, if nothing else is specified about it, it would be white flour for wheat, and probably whole or medium for rye. But there should be more details in the recipes...

Thanks. That makes sense given the recipes.
