Abstract (EN): In this paper, we define a congruence eta* on semigroups. For the finite semigroups S, eta* is the smallest congruence relation such that S/eta* is a nilpotent semigroup (in the sense of Mal'cev). In order to study the congruence relation eta* on finite semigroups, we define a CS-diagonal finite regular Rees matrix semigroup. We prove that if S is a CS-diagonal finite regular Rees matrix semigroup, then S/eta* is inverse. Also, if S is a completely regular finite semigroup, then S/eta* is a Clifford semigroup. We show that, for every non-null principal factor A/B of S, there is a special principal factor C/D such that every element of A\B is eta*-equivalent with some element of C\D. We call the principal factor C/D the eta*-root of A/B. All eta*-roots are CS-diagonal. If certain elements of S act in the special way on the R-classes of a CS-diagonal principal factor, then it is not an eta*-root. Some of these results are also expressed in terms of pseudovarieties of semigroups.
