My guess..... The russians always like to be festive so they either chose a material that is blue, or someone thought it would be funny to put a little paint on them.....
O'Hare - The Aviation God's greatest creation, or their greatest mistake? you be the judge!
My theory: To better tell the blades apart from the background under snowy conditions. I could imagine that during very heavy snowstorms, which are certainly no stranger to Russia, pilots had a problem with the visualization of the black&white contrast between props and wall of snow.

Interesting. I think upnorth Scandinavia like Norway and Finland has some of it's Air Force acft's prop blades painted with orange or yellow colours. That's to seperate the two colour tone, makind the blades easier to spot just like DAL767-400ER said with these russian types.
Their cockpits are painted green to help produce a relaxed work area. Apparently it's a relaxing colour.
I thought it was just green primer which the manufacturers didn't bother to overpaint ... same with the wheel hubs of a lot of Russian aircraft.

True, I noticed that on fighter aircraft as well....why is the gear green?
