Orthodox Lenten And Paschal Calendar - 2013

Are these liturgies in Russian or Old Church Slavonic?

The Moscow Patriarchate uses Old Church Slavonic in the liturgy, but some verses and responses may be in Russian. I know the Patriarch often begins his homilies with the words "In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit," and he tends to say that phrase in Russian.
