We argue that space-time properties are not absolute with respect to the used frame of reference as is to be expected according to ideas of relativity of space and time properties by Berkley - Leibnitz - Mach- Poincar\'{e}. From this point of view gravitation may manifests itself both as a field in Minkowski space-time and as space-time curvature. If the motion of test particles is described by the Thirring Lagrangian, then in the inertial frames of reference, where space-time is pseudo-Euclidean, gravitation manifests itself as a field. In reference frames, whose reference body is formed by point masses moving under the effect of the field, it appears as Riemannian curvature which in these frames is other than zero. For realization of this idea the author bimetric gravitation equations are considered. The spherically - symmetric solution of the equations in Minkowski space-time does not lead to the physical singularity in the center. The energy of the gravitational field of a point mass is finite. It follows from the properties of the gravitational force that there can exist stable compact supermassive configurations of Fermi-gas without an events horizon.
