Solution: I've used "brainwallet" (offline version of it) to convert btc priv key into "secret exponent", then from this secret exponent created dogecoin WIF private key.
Thanks a lot everyone!

Yes, it is. You need to reverse the base58check encoding to get the raw private key. Then you can apply the base58check encoding for the altcoin that you want.

..which is normally just replacing the prefix byte
First 5 chars are these: Kzs5V
What are the possible prefix bytes for doge?
