added to the /etc/apt/sources.list file:
deb ftp.ru.debian.org/debian stretch main contrib non-free
deb-src ftp.ru.debian.org/debian stretch main contrib non-free ran
the update
wi command -fi decided, everything is fine!

@fzfx

for example, because there is no firmware for your wi-fi adapter in this package.
the way out is to see what VID and PID the adapter has with lscpi and google firmwire for it.
