If you were to break down Churchill's famous quote, you would see this:

Riddle, Mystery, Enigma.  These three words are key.  They are all connected.  What is the connection --- these words describe a secretive and mysterious meaning.  The best way to understand a puzzling quote like this is to break it down, and define each and every word; Forming a more understandable explanation.

Basically Churchill means to say "I don't know much about what Russia's gonna do"

Mysteries, riddles, and enigmas are all synonymous with "unknown".

So there's no telling what Russia's gonna do... trying to figure out what they're gonna do is like trying to answer an impossible question.

What role did the Byzantines play in the First Crusade?
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Byzantines did play a role in the first crusade as they allowed the crusaders to pass through their territory, but provided no support.

The First Crusade (1096–1099) was the first in a line of crusades, or religious warfare, that the Latin Church of the Middle Ages started, encouraged, and occasionally oversaw. The Holy Land's liberation from Islamic dominion was the goal. Jerusalem had been governed by Muslims for hundreds of years, but by the 11th century, the Seljuk invasion of the area threatened the Byzantine Empire as well as the local Christian communities and Western pilgrimages. The Byzantine emperor Alexios I Komnenos requested military assistance from the Council of Piacenza in 1095 so that his kingdom might fight the Seljuk-led Turks. This was the first crusade initiative.
