Strong gravitation plane waves are represented in terms of the Maurer-Cartan spin connection coefficients in cosmological background. It was shown that the diffeo-invariance of spin connection coefficients leaves only one degree of freedom of the strong gravitation plane waves in contrast to the metric approach, where gravitation waves have two degrees of freedom like photons in QED. The Hilbert action of gravitation waves in terms of spin connection coefficients takes the form of a bilinear field theory.
