Looks like a variation 2 medal. The only problem I have is that it is in really good condition for being over 60 years old.
The Soviet Military Awards Page. Medals, History and Russia! is a great online source
If you're willing to spend some money you should get The Comprehensive Guide to Soviet Orders and Medals by Paul McDaniel and Paul J. Schmitt
Bonjour,
The suspension and the ribbon n are not 60 years old
take a look here : Ìåäàëü "ÇÀ ÎÁÎÐÎÍÓ ËÅÍÈÍÃÐÀÄÀ" - 1
its a good web site to soviet medals ( russian language only )if you not read the russian , use the online translator PROMT - Free Online Translator and dictionary - English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese (Brazilian) and Russian languages.
Thanks for all info!!!
It really seems that's a variant 2 (after the end of the war) as told by the RedArmyCollector and showed on the website sugested by Pierre N: Ìåäàëü "ÇÀ ÎÁÎÐÎÍÓ ËÅÍÈÍÃÐÀÄÀ" - 1
That's why the ribbon is so colorful!
Always learning fron you guys!
Also thanks to present me the collectrussia.com website.

I think it looks like the medal, the suspension and the ribbon were made yesterday.
It looks like a very good real medal, 2nd variant. This 2nd variant was active up to the end of the Soviet Union. So people could get this medal even in 1990 [medal found its hero]. By the way ammount of distributed medals of the both variants - 1 4700 000.
Regardless, it's a beautiful example. . .
And, of course, the dies are still in existance and may be used if in the wrong hands. Same is true for most Soviet medals and awards.
