Stolypin car (Russian: Столыпинский вагон) is a type of railroad carriage in the Russian Empire, Soviet Union, and modern Russia.
During the Stolypin reform in Russia, which led to massive resettlement of peasants in Siberia, a special type of carriage was introduced for these settlers. It consisted of two parts: a standard passenger compartment for a peasant and his family and a large zone for their livestock and agricultural tools.[1]
After the Bolshevik Revolution, Cheka and NKVD found these carriages convenient for transport of larger numbers of incarcerated convicts and exiles: the passenger part was used for prison guards, whereas the cattle part was used for prisoners.[1]
