They're all smaller* than the next northernmost on the chart.

Tokyo is 35 North and new York is 40 North - there's no European city larger than new York between those latitudes.

Next is new York (40 North) and Moscow (55 North). There's no European city that is larger than Moscow between those bounds.

But it depends on what you define as the boundary of the settlement for population purposes. You might include Istanbul (41 North) there if you define population differently. This list has Istanbul in front of Moscow population wise.

Helsinki should be on the chart though as it has a greatdr population than Arkhangelsk (674,963) and lies further north than Saint Petersburgh (60° 10′ 15″ N, SP: 59° 56′ 15″ N)
