Dmitry,
I know this isn't much help in your present predicament, but I would
suggest that you have a look at "Using Version Control with Your Org
Files" at http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/index.php#sec-3.3
(declaration of interest, I wrote it).
Using a VCS in conjunction with cron considerably mitigates the impact
of such disasters. Provided you commit your changes frequently (e.g.
with cron), you can normally recover almost anything you deleted in error.
Ian.
