No page numbers after chapters in the contents

Question

Seems that digging for several hours for solution did not help me, so I must ask a question directly.

So, I'm writing a book, that consists of chapters and sections. The deal is with the table of contents.

I do not want dotted lines and page numbers to follow the chapter name in the table of contents.

But I do want them to follow section names.

Also, how can I make TeX write in contents:

Chapter 1. This is the first chapter

instead of:

This is the first chapter

I am using the book class with this modification:

\addto\captionsrussian{
\def\contentsname{Оглавление}
}

\renewcommand{\tableofcontents}{%
    \if@twocolumn
      \@restonecoltrue\onecolumn
    \else
      \@restonecolfalse
    \fi
    \chapter*{\Large\contentsname
        \@mkboth{%
           \MakeUppercase\contentsname}{\MakeUppercase\contentsname}}%
    \@starttoc{toc}%
    \if@restonecol\twocolumn\fi
    }

I saw some decisions, but I do not want to write something before each chapter, how can I define it in my package?

Thank you for assistance =)

P.S. A little question: where can I find a manual for writing TeX styles?

Wow - three questions in one! "The LaTeX Companion", Mittlebach, Goosens et al, AW 2004 is pretty good on how to write packages. — Thruston, Nov 18 '13 at 16:21
Still, what about those three, they all concern one matter, anyway =) — Immelstrom, Nov 18 '13 at 16:23
I think that the tocloft package does all these things.... — Thruston, Nov 18 '13 at 16:43

Thank you a lot, Thruston, tocloft was really helpfull.

I used the following features of tocloft:

\renewcommand\cftchappresnum{\chaptername\space}
\renewcommand\cftchapaftersnum{.\space}
\renewcommand\cftsecaftersnum{.\space}
\setlength{\cftchapnumwidth}{1.5cm}
\cftpagenumbersoff{chapter}
