Her father, Abdullah Al Mamun, (a Russian national after settling down in Moscow) had a master's degree in marine engineering, while her mother, Anna, is a former rhythmic gymnast. Rita used to hold both Russian, and Bangladeshi citizenship. However, because of Russian constitutional laws, she now solely holds citizenship of the Russian Federation.(Russian law allows dual citizenship) She has one younger brother named Filipp Al Mamun. Her father's birthplace is Kashipur, Durgapur, Rajshahi, Bangladesh. On 26 August 2016, Rita's father Abdullah died from cancer, days after she won gold at the Olympic Games.
