A small follow up about this: I found a registry string Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\sshd\Parameters\AppArgs and changed the sshd command line parameters from "-D" to "-d -d -d"
This was enough to receive the server log in /var/log/sshd.log (attached here). The interesting line in the file is in my opinion this one:
"seteuid 1001: Operation not permitted" The number "1001" is the UID of the user ilya. Thus something seems to be wrong with permissions in the system.
