Text: "Relativistic kinematic equations and the theory of continuous media." Problems of relativistic rotation and relative velocities and accelerations analyzed and a rigorous basis provided for the concept of a small particle of the medium. The passage in the limit to Newtonian theory is carried out. It is possible to derive Newton's laws of motion (relativistic form), the square law of gravitation, Einstein's postulates of relativity, and electromagnetics from this concept, using a "little piece of vacuum" as the particle of the medium, extending the work of Ives. Soviet Physics Journal (21(6), June 1978-Dec 78 (translation from Izvestiya Vuz Fizika).
