Rise to Prominence

Isidora’s rise to prominence happened after she was cast in Showtime’s Golden Globe-nominated comedy drama series “Shameless”, as the Russian prostitute-turned-bar co-owner Svetlana Fisher.

She played the role from season three until season eight, when she decided to leave the show and move on to other projects.
