Mil Helicopters Blade Retention?

Heyho,
I recently have been wondering how the Russians implemented blade retention on their helicopters, especially on the Mi-26, where the blades require a whopping 31t centripetal force to stay connected to the rotor.

Steel wire straps?
Shim packs?
Elastomeric solution?

Any insight is greatly appreciated!
