5. The population of Moscow (as of 1 January 2010) is 10,562,099
Moscow is the most populous city on the continent of Europe and the seventh largest city proper in the world, a megacity.

Due to a low birth rate and high mortality rate, the population of Russia has been declining by approximately 700,000 people per year since the fall of the Soviet Union. In 2003, the number of deaths exceeded the number of births by approximately 49,400. Whilst the birth rate has risen in more recent years, the average age of Moscow's population continues to increase.

According to that article 350 people die a day there. An extra 350 a day is quite staggering, though.
