Among the many Crimean projects of the famous Russian architect Nikolai Petrovich Krasnov, the successfully realized villa 'Victoria' stands out. It belonged to the local scholar and statesman Solomon Krym. Solomon Samoilovich, of Karaim descent, had already been a deputy in the State Duma twice by the time the villa was built and was considered one of the leading agronomists in the country. He came from a wealthy family of about 150 people and held the position of Prime Minister of the Crimean government in 1919.

A few years before the start of World War I, Solomon Samoilovich commissioned the construction of the villa to the Yalta architect Nikolai Petrovich Krasnov, who immediately began work. Construction started in 1912, and in 1914, the luxurious mansion was completed, named after the goddess of victory, Victoria. However, the owner lived here for only a few years. In April 1919, he left the country and moved to France, where he remained until the end of his life. The villa was confiscated by the government after the evacuation of the Russian army led by Baron Wrangel and was used as a sanatorium for party leaders. In the following years, the building suffered greatly, even housing a public toilet, which is a disrespect to a monument of such architectural significance. To this day, the villa has not been restored and remains in a deplorable state, which is especially noticeable when one learns about the history of this mansion.
