After creating new layer and adding this layer to activeView,

Thanks in advance!

If at least 1 legend group is visible, layer is expanded.
I solved problem by adding  
for (int k = 0; k < legendInfo.LegendGroupCount; k++)            
      legendInfo.get_LegendGroup(k).Visible = false;

Can't collapse layer, picture attached. Code: 
      addLayerFromShapeFile(shapefileLocation, имяСлоя);
      featureLayer = getLayerByName(имяСлоя) as ESRI.ArcGIS.Carto.IFeatureLayer;
      geoFeatureLayer = (IGeoFeatureLayer)featureLayer;
      geoFeatureLayer.Renderer = getRenderer(имяСлоя);
      ILegendInfo legendInfo = (ILegendInfo)featureLayer;
      legendInfo.get_LegendGroup(0).Visible = false; //COLLAPSE THE LEGEND

In debugger I see 
   legendInfo.LegendGroupCount = 148

What is wrong?

You can collapse the legend for a feature layer in the TOC by using the ILegendInfo interface.

Assuming you have a pointer to a valid feature layer in the TOC called 'layer', here is a C# example:ILegendInfo legendInfo = (ILegendInfo) layer; 
legendInfo.get_LegendGroup(0).Visible = false; //COLLAPSE THE LEGEND

You may need to modify the index number depending on the properties of your layer.
