Alexey,

thanks for the GDB file showing the stack trace.  This looks similar to 
a crash that a few other users have reported:

http://trac.yorba.org/ticket/3033

We don't have a fix for this, but are currently investigating.

You said that the log file shows you the last file which was processed.  
If you import just that one file into an empty database, does Shotwell 
crash?  If so, it would help us to have that file.  This mailing list 
doesn't allow attachments, but you could either attach the file to the 
ticket above or email it to us at <shotwell at yorba.org>.  Thanks!
