Kibitka information

A kibitka (Russian: кибитка, from the Arabic "kubbat" - dome) is a pastoralist yurt of late-19th-century Kyrgyz and Kazakh nomads.^[1]

The word also refers to a Russian type of carriage^[2] or sleigh.

The kibitka uses the same equipage as the troika but, unlike the troika, is larger and usually closed. In Russian literature and folklore, kibitka is a term used mainly for Gypsy wagons. During the Russian Empire, its use to deport disgraced noblemen led to the German-language term kibitkenjustiz ("kibitka justice").^[3]
