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

19th-century prison van known in Polish as kibitka
The word also refers to a Russian type of carriage.[2] 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 term kibitkenjustiz ("kibitka justice").
