apt-get update & apt-get update dont resolve the problem
What is the output from sudo apt-get update? Does it successfully complete or does it show any errors?
Thanks for your response
Firstly I cant download pi-hole using command curl -sSL https://install.pi-hole.net | bash. After this command I saw
!!! ERROR - Unable to update package cache. Please try “apt-get update”
apt-get update leads to

Then I opened /etc/apt/sources.list and made all lines commented (solution from this post ERROR - Unable to update package cache):
#deb Index of /raspbian jessie main universe contrib non-free rpi
#Uncomment line below then ‘apt-get update’ to enable ‘apt-get source’

After this
sudo apt-get update

Reading package lists… Done
And after this efforts to install pi-hole leads to the issue discribed in the topic
I tried another method and I moved on a bit. I commented all lines in /etc/apt/sources.list and then tried to install pi-hole. Part of log is below

And then nothing again. It just throwes me to command line.
Probably the problem is in source.list?
#deb Index of /raspbian jessie main universe contrib non-free rpi
#Uncomment line below then 'apt-get update' to enable 'apt-get source'
#deb-src Index of /raspbian/ jessie main contrib non-free rpi
thats how it looks now
Commenting out all of the raspbian.org lines from the sources.list file will block the Pi from being able to get any of the dependent packages from Raspbian. And it looks like you may have some files in the sources.list.d directory, as it appears that it's looking for the RPIMonitor repository.
In the minimum, you need the first line of sources.list to get the packages from the Raspbian repository. I just checked the Raspberry Pi forum site and there looks like there were some problems with the mirrordirector.raspbian.org site but they may be resolved. Try uncommenting that first line and do an apt-get update again and see if you get the same error.
I uncommented 1st line is source.list and executed sudo apt-get update. Log is below.

Do you think that the problem is in the mirrordirector.raspbian.org site and I just have to wait before they will solve it? Are there any other methods of installing po-hole without using mirrordirector.raspbian.org?
Since this appears to be a Raspbian issue and not something with Pi-hole, I would try posting a topic at Raspberry Pi Forums - Index page and see if they have anything to say about mirrodirector not working correctly. Pi-hole is dependent upon the packages from Raspbian and the only way to get those packages are directly through Raspbian.
Thanks for your answers!
I'l talk the problem over on Raspberry Pi Forums - Index page as you suggested.
If I solve the issue I write a solution there.
I found the solution of the issue. Repository link was incorrect.
Discussion thread is there Cannot install Pi-hole. Problem with repository [SOLVED] - Raspberry Pi Forums
Many thanks for your help!
