Long story short, today I realised, that I can't login nether through ssh or console, some third-party soft doesn't work, and most of utilities from base system doesn't work too.

Do you look carefully in /var/log/cron for this same time ?

Another thought, give you filesystem layout.

  but I didn't find any weird actions in logs. First, I thought that 
portsnap (runned by cron) somehow corrupted my system, but it was 
executed like eight hours earlier.

This system is connected to the internet ? http server ? if so check the 
logs

Same time, day of the week ?

-- so it is not kind of glitch (last time a cvsuped sources and ports 
and thought it was the reason of crash).
Maybe I'm not helpful but you feel less lonely ...
