  Grigory Kulik - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kulik used his position to oppose Semyon Timoshenko's campaign to develop the Red Army's mechanised forces and to use minefields as a defensive measure, regarding mines as "a weapon of the weak." This resistance to reform had severe consequences for the Soviet Union.
Kulik also underestimated the role of submachine guns in the contemporary warfare, dubbing them "a pure police weapon" because of their relative (compared to the rifle) inaccuracy when fired.
Kulik was dismissed from his posts in 1946 after NKVD telephone eavesdroppers overheard him grumbling that politicians were stealing the credit from the generals, arrested in 1947 and remained in prison until 1950, when he was condemned to death and executed for treason.

 Marshal of the Soviet Union - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On May 7, 1940, three new Marshals were appointed: the new People's Commissar of Defence, Semyon Timoshenko, Boris Shaposhnikov, and Grigory Kulik.
This arrangement suggests that General of the Army can be considered an equivalent to Field Marshal and U.S. General of the Army, which leaves the Marshal rank as a largely honorary one.
During World War II Timoshenko and Budyonny were dismissed and Kulik was demoted for incompetence, and the rank of Marshal of the Soviet Union was given to a number of military commanders who earned it on merit.

Of the three firms hand-picked to distribute the American food, one, Roskhleboprodukt, is widely thought to have spizdel'd millions of dollars the last time it distributed American food aid, while Prodintorg and Myasomoltorg are considered small fish and strange choices.
Interestingly, the two ministers pushing hardest for US food aid, Deputy Prime Minister Gennady Kulik and First Deputy Prime Minster Yuri Maslyukov, are also the two ministers that Yabloko leader Grigory Yavlinsky recently accused of bribe-taking and corruption.
Kulik is also suspected of having interests in at least one of the distribution firms.

The sponsors of the transfers were Yuri Maslyukov and Deputy Prime Minister Gennady Kulik, the leader of the Communists’ rural allies, the Agrarians.
By the beginning of May, economic stabilization, with which Primakov had been justly credited, turned into drift and inaction, which Grigory Yavlinsky, leader of the opposition liberal Yabloko faction in the Duma, compared with the "era of stagnation" under the Communist Party’s General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev (1964—1982).
Primakov’s sole political initiative was a suggestion that the regional governors be appointed by Moscow—a giant step backward from the current choice in free elections and from the gradual evolution toward a genuinely federated and self-governing Russian state.

Yabloko leader Grigory Yavlinsky kept up his attack on alleged governmental corruption Monday (November 2), when he handed over to Prime Minister Yevgeny Primakov a parliamentary interrogatory containing questions over alleged corruption among members of the cabinet.
The deputies also asked Primakov what he knows about Deputy Prime Minister Gennady Kulik's activities as one of the heads of Rosinterbank and whether Primakov has information concerning money which the bank, allegedly, sent abroad illegally.
The Yabloko interrogatory also raises the question of whether Primakov was offered money in return for appointing Andrei Vavilov, a former deputy finance minister who later went on to head MFK, a leading commercial bank, as finance minister.

These ranged from the president firing the two leftist deputy prime ministers in Yevgeny Primakov's cabinet--Gennady Kulik and Yuri Maslyukov--up to firing Primakov himself, dissolving the Duma and announcing new elections, and even banning the opposition Communist Party of the Russian Federation (KPRF).
All of these contingency plans were floated to the press by myriad unnamed high-level Kremlin sources, and it is likely that the leaks were as much part of a psychological warfare campaign as genuine statements of intent.
It is not clear whether the Kremlin was made angrier by the use of the word "we" or the word "now." At any rate, the Kremlin's growing dissatisfaction with the cabinet was underscored by the proliferation of names floated as possible cabinet replacements.
