It is shown that in the relativistic theory of gravitation, in contrast to general relativity. the contraction of a massive body by gravitational forces is halted at a finite matter density after a finite interval of proper time. This phenomenon of gravitational ''restraining'' can be understood by analyzing the motion of a test particle in the gravitational field of a spherically symmetric body in Minkowski space.
