Assuming that the initial measure $\\rho_0$ belongs to the domain of attraction of a stable law, we describe asymptotic properties of $\\rho_t$, as $t\\to\\infty$. We consider the critical regime when the standard normalization leads to a degenerate limit and find an appropriate scaling ensuring a non-degenerate self-similar limit. Our approach is based on a probabilistic representation of probability measures $(\\rho_t)_{t\\ge 0}$ that refines the corresponding construction proposed in Bassetti and Ladelli [Ann. Appl.
