- 1966/2018, Y. Mamleev, The Sublimes/Shatuny (English-Russian edition):
- Сам Михей к секте относился иронически, считая скопцов не «белыми голубями», как они себя называли, а воробышками
- Mikhei himself regarded the sect ironically, considering the eunuchs not “white doves,” as they called themselves, but little sparrows
