Golden Telecom to build Ethernet Network in St. Petersburg

Moscow, January 28, 2004 -

Golden Telecom Inc. (NASDAQ: GLDN), the largest independent

telecommunications operator in Russia, announced today that it has begun deployment of a

gigabit Metropolitan Ethernet Network (MEN) in St. Petersburg.

After six months of successfully operating a MEN network in Moscow, Golden Telecom is

deploying a similar network with 20 nodes in St. Petersburg, Russia’s second largest city. It is

expected that Golden Telecom’s customers will be able to use the services of the MEN network

in St. Petersburg as soon as February 2004.

At present, using the MEN network, Golden Telecom offers solutions for high-speed Internet

access, unification of territorially distributed local office networks and access to the resources of

Golden Telecom’s state-of-the-art Data Center in Moscow.

One special feature of this project is that it offers a new and unique possibility of uniting local

office networks via Ethernet not only in either Moscow or St. Petersburg, but also between

offices in either city at speeds of 1 Mbps and higher.

Alexander Rozanov, Business Development Division Director of Golden Telecom, said: "The

deployment of a MEN network in St. Petersburg is based, above all, on the successful realization

of a similar project in Moscow. We expect that the advantages of Gigabit Ethernet, such as high

speed, simplicity and reliability, will find applications not for only in city-wide networks but also

in global wide area networks (WANs)."
