It's heavily based on written Church Slavonic language as opposed to spoken dialects due to colonial nature of Russia. First person who laid the foundation for modern Russian language was Lomonosov with his High, Middle and Low styles - modern one started to be developing around Middle style.
Alexander Pushkin is generally considered the first person writing in proper modern Russian language.

Is Polish more influenced by Germanic languages?

There are tons of German loanwords, however we don't use plural forms to indicate respect, which is in both Russian (Vy) and German (Sie)

So Slavonic was what the church and scholars wrote in and Pushkin was the first to write in the vulgar dialect of the plebs?

More or less. However the Slavonic influence on Russian was so strong that the Russians didn`t really see Slavonic as a foreign language, but just as a highflown version of Russian. Basically the language of state administration and scholars was a mix of Russian and Slavonic. In Lomonosov`s three styles the higher the style is the more Slavonic words it has. Today there`s a shitton of Slavonic loanwords in Russian, but they aren`t seen as foreign at all - more like just old-fashioned and/or literary.

Both have a huge number of loanwords. Probably Russian has more, because there never was a strong popular or state support for linguistic purism. For example, Russians use latin names of months while Poles , Czechs, Ukrainians and Croats use Slavic ones. Russian names are also overwhelmingly of Greek, Hebrew or Latin origin.
