I partially resolve all problem.
It seems by default Cygwin MC do not use subshell.
I run mc --subshell and all symptom goes out!

I dislike many typing and sadly mc is not support
any analog of '--subshell' in ~/.mc/ini.

So I create scripts:

mymc.bat   for Windows and Win+R {{{

@echo off

REM I probably on Windows with Russian language.
set LANG=ru_RU.cp1251

start mintty --size=140,50 -e mc --subshell
REM start rxvt -fn 8x16 -fb 8x16 -geometry 140x50 -e mc -a
}}}


mymc   for bash under Windows and for Linux {{{

#!/bin/sh

if [ "$OSTYPE" = cygwin ]; then
   mintty --size=140,50 -e mc --subshell &
else
   xterm -fn 8x16 -fb 8x16 -geometry 140x50 -e mc -a &
fi
}}}
