"I think that something wrong with file permissions."

I would agree. Help us, help you by providing your current permissions to the /wp-content/ directory.

How did you setup Wordpress? Do you get any errors when you try to import the file?

I setup WordPress following this guide -- https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-install-wordpress-with-nginx-on-centos-6--2. Than I have installed WordPress Importer plugin. Changed file permissions by running these commands -- chown -R root:root .
chown -R nginx:nginx wp-content wp-admin/update.php wp-admin/update-core.php
wp-admin/network/update.php wp-admin/network/update-core.php. When I'm trying to import, after choosing the file to upload and pressing 'Upload file and import' button, I'm getting white page, showing left vertical menu only. No error messages or something... What am I doing wrong?

Why did you chown to root:root and nginx:nginx? Shouldn't you chown -R www-data:www-data /.../wp-content?

Because I'm runnig CentOS and nginx. I thought that www-data is an Ubuntu default user.

Hmm. So php5-fpm is running as user 'nginx'. What's the output of 
stat /path/to/wp-content
?
