Journalism career
From 1997 to 2000, Kulakov worked as a scriptwriter for the educational program "ABC" on the First Channel of Ukrainian Radio Ukrainian Radio.[1] In 1998, he authored the publication Mirror Weekly.[2]
From 2005 to 2006, Kulakov served as the editor-in-chief of the magazine "Business Trade".[3] On August 3, 2006, he founded the first specialized online publication in Ukraine on retail trade, ProRetail.[4] He introduced an unusual format for Ukraine with specialized online discussions.[5]
On July 13, 2007, Kulakov was appointed as the chief editor of the "Mobіlnik" website, which he acquired for the Obozrevatel holding, owned by Mikhailo Brodsky.[6] In 2008, he founded the author's online publication "Web-telecom," which preceded the emergence of "Journalism+" in Ukraine in the future.[7]
In 2016, he created the first Ukrainian-language Jewish web-site, which received awards.[8] Since March 2017, Kulakov has been an author at K.Fund Media. For one of his articles in this publication, he secured the third place in the prestigious PRESSZVANIE competition.[9]

At the end of July 2024, Kulakov published his book Radio Ukraine. The book was released in English in two formats: Kindle edition and paperback version.
Radio Ukraine is my own translations into English of my Ukrainian texts written from 1994 to 2024. It is rhythmic prose, which, unfortunately, loses some of its rhythm in translation. Almost everything was written in Ukrainka. I dedicate the book to my grandmother, Nataliya Kulakova, who worked as a primary school teacher at the Obukhiv Secondary School named after Malysko since 1946, – said the author[13].
In 2018, Kulakov's work "Donetsk Triptych" was nominated for the "Urban Legends" short story competition in the Ukrainian language, organized by the literary platform Litnet in collaboration with Summit-Knyha Publishing.[14] In the same year, he also won the competition "Israel and Ukrainian-Israeli Relations through the Eyes of Journalists",[8] and achieved the 3rd place in the PRESSzvanie competition in the "IT and Telecom" category.[15]
