Russia and Catalonian Separatism The article analyzes the attitude of Russia towards the increasing importance of Catalonian separatism. Moscow, despite its official recognition of the problemas Spain’s internal affair, has carried out various actions in order to strengthen the separatist movement, mainly by activity in cyberspace. The aims of these steps were to undermine the stability of West European states, to present them as violating human rights and to weaken NATO and the European Union. Russian actions were treated by Spain as directed against its territorial integrity and asa result, they increased awareness of this problem in the Spanish public opinion. As a consequence, a shift of Madrid’s policy towards Moscow is very highly probable.
