From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Telega (Russian: теле́га, IPA: [tʲɪˈlʲɛgə]) is a type of four-wheel horse-drawn vehicle, whose primary purpose is to carry loads, similar to a wain, known in Russia and other countries.[1][2][3] It has been defined as "a special type commonly used in the southern and south-western provinces for the carriage of grain, hay and other agricultural products".[4]
It is described and spelled telga in Jules Verne's novel Michael Strogoff. It is spelled telyega in Leo Tolstoy's story "The Two Old Men" in Tolstoy: Tales of Courage and Conflict.[5]
