The effects of the gravitational repulsion in the cases of solutions of the Mathisson-Papapetrou equations which describe the circular or close to circular orbits in the small region of the value $r=3M$ in a Schwarzschild field are considered. It is shown that these effects follow from the Mathisson-Papapetrou equations both at the Frenkel-Mathisson and Tulczyjew-Dixon conditions. Attention is also paid to the possibilities of manifestations of the gravitational repulsion in some astrophysical phenomena.
