Prof Robert Skidelsky, author of the masterful study, Keynes and the Ethics of Capitalism, in a Times opinion piece argued that imperial hubris in both countries, incubated over the centuries, had bred misunderstanding and discord. The Russians, emotionally fragile in the wake of the Soviet Union's dissolution , were inclined to see British spies and conspiracies everywhere, while "the British can't get over the feeling that it is their duty to lay down the law to lesser breeds. It is this mixture of Russian cussedness and British condescension that converts spats into more serious disputes".
