Lots of alcohol, this won't completely solve the problem but should improve it
enough to give you some stopping ability.  If you can, soak the brake shoes in
the alcohol.

Now there is oil in at least right side brake drum and linings. I know it
burns out during time, but I have to drive straight to MOT (is it yearly
check made by officials?) and it is only about 4 km. Is there any other
methods than washing with organic solvent (heating?) to get that diff oil
out from the brake surfaces?

Yes, and very muchas gracias from all help I have got from you during
thease years!
