The word is also used in reference to a Russian type of carriage[2] or sleigh. This kind of kibitka uses the same equipage as the troika but, unlike the troika, is larger and usually closed. In Russian literature and folklore, the term kibitka is used in reference to Gypsy wagons.

The use in the Russian Empire of other Script error: No such module "Lang". – to transport disgraced noblemen into exile, and convicts to katorga forced labor – inspired the German-language term Script error: No such module "Lang".[3][4] and the equivalent English-language concept of "kibitka justice".[5]
