Are Russian students attending Brookes Saint Petersburg (or international schools in general) required to take the Russian unified state examinations (ЕГЭ) in order to enter Russian state universities?

No. Brookes Saint Petersburg students, who do not take the Russian unified state examinations, apply as fee-paying (or “contract-based”) students. They have to pass the respective universities’ internal entrance tests.

Are graduates from Brookes Saint Petersburg at a disadvantage compared to students from Russian state schools?

The main difference is that students who passed the Russian unified state examinations once accepted by a state university immediately qualify for state (or “budget”) funding.

The Moscow-based Russian State Humanitarian University, for example, makes it clear that Russian students coming from international schools like Brookes Saint Petersburg can apply for state funding. The final decision is however up to the competent authorities.
