The influence of dynamical friction on peculiar velocities in a two-component medium is considered. One of the components is assumed to consist of heavy particles with small gravitational interactions; the other is assumed to be uniform and its particles of much less weight. Here, solutions for the stationary as well as for the cosmologically expanding medium are obtained. These solutions illustrate the possibility for clusters of galaxies to have superlow velocities. It is emphasized that the presence of two components leads to the formation of individual strings and general string structure in one of the components. A string-like structure of the universe becomes inevitable in the case when an initial perturbations spectrum has a specific scale, and falls down abruptly for larger and smaller distances. Such a picture of the formation of large-scale structure of the universe is similar to the formation of particle tracks in the Wilson chamber, where tracks are the observational clusters of galaxies, and 'particles' are invisible perturbations in the second (neutrino?) component.
