Both names are wrong. We can call Svetlana - Svetik or Sveta. I hear 'Tsvetukha' for the first time...

Someone may jokingly call someone named Sveta as Svetukha. But it's not a joke everyone will appreciate and understand.

Evgenia: Well, I had a friend in St Petersburg who has a girlfriend named Natasha (Natalia). He called her Natakha (Nataxa) and she thought it was funny. So, these things happen Smile
