یادبود ایلیا جعفری ثانی، که در سن ۱۵ سالگی در دی‌ماه توسط مزدوران ضحاک به ضرب گلوله جاویدنام شد.

[Twitter — web scraper CSV ingest] @Sonofthebeach22 تقویم ایران دستم نیست، دیدم تایملاین نوشتن ۲۵ اردیبهشته و روز بزرگداشت فردوسی و من اولین چیزی که اومد به ذهنم این پسر خوشتیپ بود که اینطوری شیک رفته بود آرامگاه فردوسی. ایلیای قشنگ ایران فقط ۱۵ سالش بود که تو دی‌ماه به ضرب گلوله مزدوران ضحاک، جاویدنام شد! #ایلیا_جعفری_ثانی [English — machine translation] I don't have the Iranian calendar with me. I saw the timeline saying May 25th, the day of commemoration of Ferdowsi, and the first thing that came to mind was this handsome boy who had gone to Ferdowsi's tomb in such a stylish way.
 The beautiful Ilya of Iran was only 15 years old when he was shot dead by Zahhak's mercenaries in January and became immortal!
