Try to move rewrites to specila location:

     location ^~ /user/ {
         rewrite ^/user/(.*)/moje.([0-9]+).html$
                 /moje.html?u=$1&showpage=$2      last;
         ...
     }

Also, it's better to use try_files instead of

     if (!-f $request-filename) { return 404; break; }

as here:

     location ~ \.html$ {
         try_files  $uri  /404.html;
         ...
     }

     location = /404.html {
         root /path/to/files;
     }
