Vinogradov in 1937 proved the ternary version of the Goldbach conjecture, that every large odd integer can be written as a sum of three primes. In this talk, I will start with a historical account on some related problems and the underlying methods, and then describe a few new results related to the ternary Goldbach problem, whose proofs combine classical methods with ideas from additive combinatorics. This is based on joint work with Kaisa Matomaki and James Maynard.
