The 14th Guards Rifle Corps was under the 9th Army, at the time of the awarding the 9th Army was involved in the North Caucasian Front which at that time was battling for Kursk.
Hence, I'd say our Kukuj is in Kursk Region, Bol'shesoldatskij District. Not a Kursk city awarding but a really close one!
