My first choice for a category to sacrifice to make room for Russia would be one of those for age, but that has already been discussed a bit. What about removing "Primary language: Other"? Since there are only two options for primary language, and (I assume?) we'll see the total number of replies, it's easy to calculate that number.
Also, for education, could you add a brief description?
Primary = the first 9-10 years education?
Secondary = 2-4 years after primary, either vocational or preparing for further education?
Bachelor's degree = x years additional education after secondary?
Post-grad qualification = y years additional education after bachelor's?
After a bit of searching I think bachelor's is only used for university education? Or is it meant to cover all education of that length, both at universities and other kinds of schools?

In the US at least primary education is grades K to 12. Secondary education is everything beyond that. Bachelor's degrees are traditionally for 4 years of college. Then there are general advanced degrees (Masters, Doctorates) as well as professional degrees, eg MD.
