RAMBLER SELECTS BLINKX TO POWER NEW VIDEO SEARCH FEATURE

Rambler Media Ltd. ("Rambler"), operating one of Russia's most popular Internet
brands, today announces that it has signed an agreement with blinkx, one of the
world's largest and most advanced video search engines (www.blinkx.com) to power
Rambler's new video search feature. The free service will provide Rambler users
with easy and efficient access to a unique index of Russian video content. Under
the terms of the agreement, revenue from banner advertising related to the dual
project will be shared between Rambler and blinkx.

Rambler's new video search feature will benefit from blinkx's advanced
technology to bring its audience accurate, relevant results. Users will be able
to find all their favourite videos more easily available than ever before.
Unlike other video search engines which rely on misleading titles and tags to
analyse video files, blinkx uses a combination of speech recognition and
advanced visual analysis technologies to yield the most accurate search results
possible.

Rambler's video search database now contains over 3 million video clips, all
coming from Russian language Web sites. The index is continuously being updated
and Rambler users will soon be able to search through videos from European
websites as well, giving them access to video material from the entire World
Wide Web.

Anna Znamenskaya, Rambler's Chief Sales & Partnership Officer, commented: "As
part of our strategy to make Rambler an open gateway to the Web and offer
Russian users the best of the Internet, we are extremely pleased to have entered
into a partnership with blinkx, a company that provides the best in video search
technology. The use of their technology will greatly benefit Rambler and our
users. We expect the new Rambler video search to become popular with Russian
Internet users as more and more Russians are spending more time online and using
more multimedia devices. The launch is one of many projects that we are
developing to continue to fire up user experience and to build the largest
online Russian community."

"Russia is one of the largest, fastest growing Internet markets in Europe, and
we're delighted to partner with Rambler, one of the country's most prominent
media companies," said Suranga Chandratillake, founder and CEO, blinkx.
