    This is pretty common knowledge. Though not on the side Cameron would have wanted.

    Russia funds separatist groups across Europe. Just search and you find ones like these:

    Why would you agree they interfered with Brexit but not the Scottish Independence?

    Divided we fall, so of course our enemies fund every level of separation they can. And to be fair, I bet we do the same to them.

    I just wanted a higher standard, and I don't doubt at all that they try to divide all over Europe (and more, it's their modus operandi after all) but what I feel needs to be proven is that David Cameron asked for it.

    Google it, come to your own conclusions.

    If Russia did interfere (of which I've seen no evidence) it would almost certainly be on the leave side as it would further their aim of dividing western countries and get them focused inwards rather than outward.
