Especially that ''obwarzanki'' of this particular shape are practically unique to Cracow. Polish ''obwarzanki'' outside Cracow are much smaller, unbraided, single-strand rings with smooth crust. Among these, Smorgonian ''obwarzanki'' (from what is now Smarhon, Belarus) were particularly famous, as they were sold at the yearly Saint Casimir's fair in Wilno (now Vilnius, Lithuania). It was probably this kind of ''obwarzanek'' from Poland's borderlands that Marshal Józef Piłsudski had in mind when making a simile similë between the nation and the ring-shaped bread.
