Is it possible to merging 2 line objects in such a way that to get object no. 6?
1. single line:

dxf file: wolniludzie.com/inkscape/example 3/1. single line.dxf (http://wolniludzie.com/inkscape/example 3/1. single line.dxf)
2. duplicat downscaling:

3. smaller object "poligonization":

(line unclosed was cuted)
4. removing every line from object 3 inside:

5. substracting object 4 from object 1
(http://www.wolniludzie.com/inkscape/example%203/5a.%20single%20line%20minus%20single%20line%20little%20polygonized_single%20line%20little%20with%20opacity.png)
6. AIM - union, one object from object 5 and object 2
(http://www.wolniludzie.com/inkscape/example%203/6.%20UNION%20single%20line%20+%20(single%20line%20-%20single%20line%20little%20polyginized).png)
I tried to do I it, but gave up. I can make only objects number 2, 3 and 4 (https://forum.inkscapecommunity.com/index.php?topic=954.0).

You can't do it all at once. But here are some steps.
1 - Duplicate the small path that you have in your #4. Below I'm using just a blue circle to show.

2 - Select the large path, and one of the smaller paths. Then Path menu > Cut Path
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
3 - Using the extra blue circle, you can easily see which paths need to be deleted. You don't have to duplicate the blue path, but it's just helpful to be able to see which paths to select.
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
4 - Because of using Cut Path, the large path is now in many different pieces.
[ You are not allowed to view attachments ]
If you need to large path to be all one path, as before, then do 2 more steps
5 - Delete the extra blue path
6 - Ctrl A (select all) then Path menu > Combine
7 - Now move the small path into the "hole" that's left.
As you may have learned by now, there are often more than one way to do things with Inkscape. This is the easiest way I can think of, but if something about this way doesn't work, let us know, and maybe another way will work better.

Oops, I missed this part:
AIM - union, one object from object 5 and object 2
If you truly want to "union" them, it won't work. Path menu > Union will try to close the open ends.
But if you want them all one path, that will work. Select them, and do Path menu > Combine. However, if you were going to do something like make each small part a different color, Combine won't let that work. So if that's what you want, you should use Object menu > Group.
