Dear Alexey,
I'm using TeX Live in Ubuntu 14.04 also. The \widowpenalty
command in your file works correctly for me. I get two lines at the top
of page 2 before the next paragraph begins. If I comment out
\widowpenalty I get only one line at the top of page 2 before the next
paragraph begins.
However, when I upgraded to Ubuntu 14.04 from Ubuntu 12.04, TeX
did not get installed correctly. I had to reinstall TeX as a separate
package later. Maybe something similar happened in your case.
Sincerely,
Nicholas
