He then commanded a brigade in the newly independent Democratic Republic of Georgia. After the country's fall to the Soviets in 1921, he became one of the leaders of an underground independence movement. On 19 May 1923, Tsulukidze was arrested by the Cheka along with his associates and executed at the outskirts of Tbilisi.[1][2] In 2023, he was posthumously awarded the title and Order of National Hero of Georgia.[3]
