1. Why are Russian sub interiors painted yellow? Even the weapons and control stations in yellow. Is it for better lightening? More restful etc etc.

Generally many submarine interiors are painted in a light colour (white, yellow, dim cream) mainly to ensure that the interior light sources are as best used as possible. Clear colours reflect light, while dark ones absorbe it. Hence you would theoretically need less light power (i.e. energy) for the same amount of interior light level. Secondary, clear colours are also used to give a less claustrophobic sensation.

2. And Russian submarines- before a night surface (for special operations or whatever) do they switch to a red (or some other color) lighting in the interioradjust the eyes (I thought I saw a blue light mod for SH3 hence the question on color.)

Yes old diesels had red light, others I can't tell. Probably someone else here will be able to tell.
