The article is pretty dull, but what the admiral did say is that the weapons are all ready to go unlike with Borei. He also states that these missiles are "not yet in service" and will be introduced with the Severodvinsk in 2009. The missiles saw heavy testing and some variant are still undergoing development tests.

So to try to figure out which missile this is, is the Kh-101 or Kh-555 officially in service today?

--------------------------------------------

So is possible to see them also in surface units, like Goshkovs and modernized Nakhimov? I think that navy develops a universal VLS cell for both Yakhont and Klub missile series, so why not be aveliabe for cruise missiles like Kh-555/101/

Nakhimov might have them, although its modernization is kept under wraps so we can never know for sure. Gorshkov most likely wont, although it still amazes me that a 4000t vessel has more firepower than the old 8000t Sovremenniys.
