Playing career Edit
Shakulin started his professional career in Dynamo Moscow, after moving to Moscow from his hometown Kirov at age of 14.

After another year at Dynamo in the 1993-94 season Schakulin returned to Germany and played in the 1994-95 season for the newcomer in the league SV Tally Oberelchingen. They surprisingly made it into the play-offs of the championship, where Bayer Giants Leverkusen defeated in the first round.
In the following 1995-96 season with Dynamo Moscow, Schakulin was the runner-up behind series champion CSKA Moscow. In February 1997 he finally moved himself to CSKA after Dynamo Moscow its professional play operation stopped due to financial reasons, and there he won two championships in 1997 and 1998. Moreover, again, he managed to jump in the final round of the national team for European Championship finals. At the EuroBasket 1997, Russia defeated hosts Spain the quarterfinals, however, Italy defeated them in the semi-final game. Later, Russia took the bronze medal in the "small final" against Greece. For the Basketball Bundesliga 1998-99 season, Schakulin returned again back to Oberelchingen, where they managed to get in the play-offs again.
