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{{Cite web|url=https://obukhiv.info/news/pismennik-z-obukhova-vidav-knizhku-pro-ukrainu-angliiskoiu/|title=Письменник з Обухова видав книжку про Україну англійською|date=2024-08-09|website=obukhiv.info|language=uk|access-date=2024-08-17}}.
