Dostoevsky query

I wonder if someone far better informed than I can help me with this.
In his notes for Writer's Diary (for August 1876), Dostoevsky wrote the
following memo to himself: "Взять из Герцена, из 'Станкевича круга' для
возраженья Селину" [Vzyat' iz Gertsena, iz 'Stankevicha kruga' dlya
vozrazhen'ya Selinu].
"Selin" has me stumped: who on earth was that? (Obviously not Louis-
Ferdinand Destouches-Céline, who wasn't even born until 1894, but that's
where the trail went cold for me.)
I would vastly appreciate any clues that anyone can offer.
Best to all
Liv
