I am writing a letter and I would like to insert a subject line above or below the \opening. How should I do this? I prefer not to use scrlttr2 or KOMA.

scrlttr2 supports an option that allows the placement of the subject after the opening/greeting:
\documentclass[subject=afteropening]{scrlttr2}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\setkomavar{fromname}{Mr. X}
\setkomavar{fromaddress}{Some Street 23 \\ Small Town}
\setkomavar{subject}{Very important stuff}
\begin{document}
\begin{letter}{Mr. Y \\ Big Company \\ Capital City}
\opening{Dear Mr. Y,}
This is very important.
\closing{Best,}
\end{letter}
\end{document}
Other possible values (centered, left, right, titled,...) are explained in the very extensive manual (scrguide.pdf or scrguien.pdf).
You can play with pseudo length. A picture of all length are shown here: How to remove space between back address and address in scrlttr2?
With the example below you will get:
\documentclass[backaddress=off,fromalign=left,version=last]{scrlttr2}
\usepackage{cmap}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T2A]{fontenc}
\usepackage[ukrainian]{babel}
\makeatletter
\@setplength{toaddrvpos}{10mm}
\@setplength{toaddrhpos}{140mm}
\@setplength{backaddrheight}{0pt}
\@setplength{firstheadvpos}{30mm}
\@setplength{firstheadhpos}{140mm}
\makeatother
\setkomavar*{enclseparator}{Додатки}
\setkomavar{fromname}{John Doe}
\setkomavar{fromaddress}{Somestreet St., \\
Sometown, 12345}
\setkomavar{date}{\today}
\begin{document}
\begin{letter}{Addressee \\
Road \\
Town}
\opening{Dear Recipient,}
\lipsum[1]
\closing{Best Regards,}
\end{letter}
\end{document}

There's no specific command for subjects in
letterstyle, so do something like this:
