Yes, Catherine the Great played a significant role in the partitioning of Poland during the late 18th century. Through a series of agreements and military actions, Russia, along with Prussia and Austria, divided Polish territory among themselves. The First Partition of Poland in 1772 resulted in Russia gaining substantial land, and subsequent partitions in 1793 and 1795 further diminished Polish sovereignty, effectively ending the independent Polish state for over a century.
