Realy, they looks like Plathelmyntes. I didn't regard this possibility because of very fast water, I don't know why.

I think it's possibly larvae of Diptera: Simuliidae; see also

Thank you Mario.

Mario, I did check Yankovsky key for Simuliidae.
Still without final conclusion.
Or with conclusion that photo itself isn't good enought to come to conclusion.
Next spring I'll visit Sochi again and try to find answer.
