The dynamical effects of the interaction of a fast (2000 km/s) stellar wind from a central star with the gaseous envelope of a planetary nebula (PN) are investigated on the basis of a theoretical analysis. An evaluation is made of conditions under which the fragmentation of the nebula due to Rayleigh-Taylor instability. The evolution of initially oblate PN modes is investigated on the basis of two-dimensional calculations, and it is shown that bipolar structures (of hourglass type) are formed as a result of this evolution.
