4.4.7 SEPARATE PEACE AND ALLIES: If a major power surrenders to some but 
remains at war with other major powers, a major power with which war 
continues may demand that an ally or allies that was a victor in the formal 
peace immediately break their alliance(s) with the major power still at war 
(and lose " -2" political points for breaking the alliance). For example, 
Russia and Austria are allies and are both at war with Prussia. Prussia 
surrenders to Austria, but not to Russia. The Russian player may demand 
that Austria break its alliance with Russia. An ally may also demand that 
an ally that concludes an informal peace with a common enemy break their 
alliance.

This is the relevant rule.  Although looking it over, I'm not sure Russia 
can demand Spain break the alliance if it is Spain doing the 
surrendering.  Since Spain would not be  a victor in the formal peace 
process, I do not believe Russia could invoke this clause.
