I have a table of contents (tableofcontents) in my document. How can I hide subsections in it? I want that only names of sections are displayed there.

Writesubsection*{}with the asterisk, for a single case, or includesetcounter{tocdepth}{1}in your preamble for anything belowSection(subsections, subsubsections won't appear). I think this question has certainly come up before...

setcounter{tocdepth}{1}is quicker ;-)

By the way, note that the asterisk will make the affected parts unnumbered!

The tocdepth counter decides to which depth down the entries appear in the ToC.
(Code slightly edited, thanks to https://tex.stackexchange.com/users/1357/jdh for pointing me to a typo!)
Usually, following values hold
setcounter{tocdepth}{-1}-- only parts
setcounter{tocdepth}{0}-- only parts and chapters
setcounter{tocdepth}{1}-- part,chapters,sections
setcounter{tocdepth}{2}-- part,chapters,sections, subsections
setcounter{tocdepth}{3}-- part,chapters,sections, subsections,subsubsections
setcounter{tocdepth}{4}-- part,chapters,sections, subsections,subsubsections and paragraphs
setcounter{tocdepth}{5}-- part,chapters,sections, subsections, subsubsections, paragraphs and subparagraphs.
The memoir class adds the ToC depth -2 for the book structure level at all, being higher leveled than part.
This means, the larger the number for the counter, the greater the number of structuring in the ToC.
The toclevels can be found, for example in article.cls (and since book.cls loads article.cls) looking at the @startsection{...} commands.
If for example, some parts of the structuring should not appear in the ToC at all, there's a trick
addtocontents{toc}{setcounter{tocdepth}{-10}}
before the 'hidden parts' and later reenable them with
addtocontents{toc}{setcounter{tocdepth}{1}}
See Switching tocdepth in the middle of a document for an example about changing the tocdepth in between.
Please do not confuse tocdepth with the secnumdepth counter!
Just for completeness: Both tocdepth and secnumdepth are counters that aren't defined withnewcounter, but have the internal names c@tocdepth and c@secnumdepth in order to allow setcounter etc. usage. You won't find them in the internal counter list and are no members of counter reset lists by default, which would be no of importance anyway.
The value of the tocdepth counter controls in the same manner which entries enter the regular bookmarks provided by hyperref.

You are missing {toc} in the trick, in the second line where you reenable the level. (And thanks for this trick!)
