History[]
In the 19th century, eight gingerbread factories operated in Vyazma.
In 1913, during the celebration of the 300th anniversary of the Romanov dynasty, the merchants from Vyazma gave Nicholai II a giant Vyazma pryanik weighing 16 kilograms (one pood).

The pryanik is mentioned in "The History of a Town" by Saltykov-Shchedrin, Chekhov's "The Steppe" and other works of Russian writers. Alexander Pushkin said: "Moscow is famous for its brides, like Vyazma for its pryaniks".[1][2]
