In 1941 Sadkova designate responsible for the evacuation of the families of the artists of Scissors.

All of the first years of the war up to 1943 of the Cages works and lives in Moscow. Recent exhibitions 1942 - "the Landscape of our country"; the all-Union exhibition "the Great Patriotic war"; the spring MOSH.

In the fall of ' 43, the unexpected arrest... 2 November 1944 by the decision of the Special Meeting of the Cages Viktor convicted under article 58 paragraph 10 of part 2 of the RSFSR criminal code... the Step is aimed at corrective labour colony of the city of Vologda. 10 years later: V. N. Cages are fully rehabilitated and returned to Moscow, reinstated in all the rights (including Mosh). A family was destroyed a long absence. He never appears on the Upper Maslovka... With his new wife (also visited the link), he settles in a room on Frunze embankment, and here is born his second daughter Olga.

Cages is now working in the Studio on Tverskaya street, not particularly noisy notice of the art fraternity. Only ten years later (in 1963) he again took part in the major exhibition "XXX years of MOSKH".

Marvel at the amazing Sadkova persistence in following the chosen professional path. In 1967 in Moscow in the Central House of workers of arts of the USSR (arts), still held his solo exhibition. Last.

The exhibition presents 70 paintings 1960-1966 gg and 25 graphic works of the same period. Exhibition dedicated to the fortieth anniversary of creative activity Viktor Nikolaevich: the modest catalogue, cautious introductory article by V. Lobanov...

This exhibition, which Cages have made so many of their own forces, he makes a last attempt to break through the blank wall of alienation, detachment from one "sitting". But the flywheel official oblivion inexorably doing its job. Albums not reissued disappear from libraries; work hiding away in the vaults of museums.

The rest of my life Cages have lived in the House of artists on the street zholtovskogo. Worked a little, almost all the time devoting to the care of a sick wife and baby daughter .

Died V. N. Cages 2 APR 1976 after a heavy, fast flowing disease.
