Kibitka

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.

In Russian literature and in Russian folklore the term kibitka is used mainly[quantify] to refer to Gypsy wagons.

The use in the Russian Empire of kibitki to transport disgraced noblemen into exile inspired the German-language term Kibitkenjustiz[3][4] and the equivalent English-language concept of "kibitka justice".
