The most famous example comes from Winston Churchill, who on October 1, 1939—just weeks into World War II—delivered a worldwide radio address through the BBC. Attempting to explain the uncertainty surrounding the Soviet Union’s intentions after the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, Churchill declared: “Russia is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma; but perhaps there is a key.” That line became one of the most enduring metaphors in geopolitical rhetoric and cemented “enigma” as a byword for opacity and strategic ambiguity.

Prior to speaking with reporters, Obama had toured a World War II exhibit that included a German Enigma cipher machine. He noted, “Before we walked out, I happened to see Enigma on display. And that was a reminder of the incredible innovation and collaboration of the Allies in World War II…” In this instance, “Enigma” was used literally, as a reference to the famous machine, but it still carries symbolic resonance—linking the term to wartime secrecy, cryptographic power, and alliance history. Despite its metaphorical richness, no other major heads of state, cabinet officials, or U.S. presidents are recorded using the term “enigma” directly in public remarks. While journalists and commentators have often labeled figures like Narendra Modi, Boris Johnson, or even Obama himself as “enigmas,” these are external characterizations—not self-applied descriptions or rhetorical devices used by the figures in question. The term remains rare in direct political speech, surfacing only when deliberate opacity, mystery, or historical gravitas are being invoked.
