I have this rule:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} someGetParameter=1
RewriteRule ^someoldpage.php$ http://newdomain.ru/page/ [L,R=301]

After redirect I get 

http://newdomain.ru/page/?someGetParameter=1

instead of 

http://newdomain.ru/page/

Why it is going wrong?

    It’s going ‘wrong’ because your assumption is wrong, see RewriteRule directive:

    Modifying the Query String

    By default, the query string is passed through unchanged. You can, however, create URLs in the substitution string containing a query string part. Simply use a question mark inside the substitution string to indicate that the following text should be re-injected into the query string. When you want to erase an existing query string, end the substitution string with just a question mark. To combine new and old query strings, use the [QSA] flag.

    So:

    RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} someGetParameter=1
RewriteRule ^someoldpage.php$ http://newdomain.ru/page/? [L,R=301]
