      • The round building follows engineer Georgy Marsakov's ring-shaped bread-baking process: the dough moved in a circle.
      • The factory started work in autumn 1933 and was designed to produce about 290 tonnes of white bread a day.
      • It kept baking bread throughout the Siege, switching from hearth-baked to tin-baked loaves in 1941–1942.
      • In the 18th and early 19th centuries a gunpowder ("zeleyny") factory stood on this site.
      • The architect Alexander Nikolsky, who loved round shapes, is credited with a part in the project.
