I can't start mac using cntr+R, cntr+alt+R, shift+cntr+alt+R. For the all combinations, I have only the folder with question mark shown.
It's a macbook pro 2017.
What can it mean and how can I fix it?

did you try this Press and hold the Option key immediately after turning on or restarting your Mac. Release the Option key when you see the Startup Manager window.

This is pretty easy - the folder with a question mark means no bootable volume is connected to the computer despite what disk used to be the startup disk was in the past.
You'll want to connect to a WiFi or wired network and try booting to internet recovery or bring a known good bootable OS to this machine so you can boot to disk utility and see if the internal drive needs first aid or a wipe and erase.
To manually start up from macOS Recovery over the Internet, hold down Option-Command-R or Shift-Option-Command-R at startup.

Barring that, you'll need to seek hardware service if you don't have internet boot or a way to bring a bootable OS to this Mac.
The only one thing to try is resetting the NVRAM one time. Hold Command - Option - P - R at boot and make sure you hear the startup chime twice before letting go.

All the other commands won't help get you past the folder with a question mark.
