The interaction of the stars of nonrotating subsystems of a galaxy with a nonlinear density wave in a rotating gaseous disk is considered. The nonrotating stellar component is represented as two subsystems rotating in opposite directions. In the linear approximation, an instability is possible, which is connected with the Lindblad resonance of the wave with the stellar subsystem rotating in the opposite direction. For nonlinear waves in the gaseous disk, which are just at the stability limit, a class of stable soliton solutions with determinate amplitude is indicated. In a stable gaseous disk soliton solutions with an arbitrary amplitude are possible. With the emergence of an instability in a stellar-gaseous system its amplitude grows with the double increment of the linear theory.
