OK, it was funny that the rear left wheel in the the rut was spinining even at idling..... ( foot-throttle and brakes were free... transmission in drive (second gear in low range was selected ) . Forward- Brake- Reverse helped to dig a ditch with rear left wheel. I got 1 metre free for acceleration. Than reverse and full trottle and jump in the field for freedom  .
PS. Such kind of roads are now really hard in our country. The problem was that it happended just after snow thawing. I stopped at the road. It was my fault. The car was not able to go on straight more that in few feet. At that moment all four [/b]weels were loaded. It was before the attemp to U-turn and depression of rear wheel. I tried U-turn cause traction in reverse was better as I saw. WBR

That wheel would spin at idle as it is the one with the least friction, Traction control and difflock will only assist once a minimum of 5% throttle is applied, or throttle angle is increased, of course, too much throttle won't help at all
