Svetlana is the cousin of Tony's ex-''comàre'' Irina and runs a visiting nurse association. Irina has stated in the past that they have a rivalry, for her cousin since she has a very committed boyfriend whereas Tony is not. During her childhood, Svetlana developed an infection on her leg which was soon amputated. She was first hired as Livia Soprano's nurse since Janice had left town. When Livia dies, Tony allows Svetlana to remain at Livia's until she can get settled. However, when Janice asks the whereabouts of Livia's records, Svetlana informs Janice they were promised to her. In revenge, Janice steals Svetlana's prosthetic leg. Svetlana, then sends the Russian mob after Janice as a counterattack. Svetlana resurfaces as Uncle Junior's nurse after he suffers a fall at the courthouse. One afternoon while Uncle Junior is asleep, Tony has sex with Svetlana but they are caught by her cousin, Branca. Irina soon finds out about this and informs Carmela about the affair. Tony admires Svetlana for her toughness of spirit and her refusal to allow her disability and misfortune to get in the way of her ambitions. Arguably, Svetlana is the most psychologically balanced of all Tony's extra marital affairs; her intelligence, dry sense of humour and cynicism raising her above many of the beautiful but intellectually limited women who have been involved with Tony.
