An intermediate element is for a blade/rotor disk connection in a rotor of a fluid flow machine. The intermediate element is adapted to a shape of a blade root of a blade and to a blade root slot in a rotor disk for receiving the blade root such that, when arranged between the blade root and rotor disk, the intermediate element prevents contact between the blade root and rotor disk. The intermediate element has, on an outer surface that faces the rotor disk, at least one protrusion to reduce an air flow parallel to an axis of rotation of the rotor between the rotor disk and the intermediate element; and on an inner surface that faces the blade root, a recess that corresponds to the at least one protrusion.
