Eastern Orthodox calendar: -14? - 13?

[Prof Steven P Hill]

Dear colleagues:

Once upon a time, studying Russian history, I learned (or seem to recall 
learning) that in the 19th century the Eastern Orthodox calendar ran 
12 days behind the West European (Catholic) calendar, and that in the 
20th century the E Orthodox calendar ran 13 days behind.  So far, so good.

So my expectation was that in the 21st century the E Orthodox calendar 
would run 14 (fourteen) days behind.  But I've encountered some indications 
that even in this 21st century the "time lag" is still 13 (thirteen) days.

If I was wrong, where did I go wrong?

Gratefully,
Steven P Hill,
University of Illinois.
