Kibitka
19th century Russian jail-kibitka wagon
Kibitka of Tekes people
A kibitka (Russian: Кибитка) can refer to a yurt or a Russian type of carriage.
The kibitka wagon uses the same equipage as the troika. Compared to the troika a kibitka is larger, and usually closed.
During the Russian Empire it was used to deport disgraced noblemen which led to the term "Kibitkenjustiz" (engl: Kibitkenjustice).
