And a closeup on the much-discussed suspension ring.
It is also interesting that the medal has the post-1987 coat of arms. All the ones I have (this one and two naked) are the same.
(Should any ribbon ever surface, I'd very much appreciate being kept in mind.)
I think, though could be wrong, that this medal was created via the KGB to establish the authority of the puppet security service they eventually left behind.
