One of the founders of the "Chase" community. The author of the standard coat of arms "The Pursuit" as the state coat of arms of the Republic of Belarus in 1991-1995.

His workshop, which was located in Minsk opposite the KGB building, became a national center of the capital in the 1960s and was named "On the Roof". He was not a member of the Komsomol and the Communist Party, he spoke exclusively Belarusian.

Vladimir Basaliga:

"Yugen Kulik [was, as it were] a messenger who in ancient times was sent from the princely army to bring good news to the Motherland. Kulik brought the news of the Renaissance to Belarusians."

-

Edward Ludovich:

"This short, hunched-over man with a short surname was one of the great handful of people who remembered the renaissance, won back independence. From the great handful of founding nationalists."

-

Siarhei Kharevsky:

"When talking about Kulik, it is difficult to avoid pathos....This figure is like a mountain, it will grow from year to year, the further we move away from it. The man gathered around himself a brilliant galaxy of Belarusian intelligentsia - artists, writers, historians, created the state coat of arms of an independent of Belarus. Kulik was the ideological center of the intelligentsia community.... Here he did work similar to that performed in Poland by Jerzy Gedroyc, the editor of the Parisian "Kultura".... Kulik will forever remain a symbol of incorruptibility and indomitability, indomitable spirit."
