He played for VVA Saracens in Russia until 2010/11. He played a season for London Wasps, a professional team in England, participating as a replacement in the AVIVA Premiership and Anglo Welsh games, and as a starter in a European Challenge Cup match. However, at the end of the season it was announced that Korshunov was not going to be a part of the Wasps squad for the 2012-2013 season due to a financial accommodation. He returned to VVA Saracens for that season, where he has been playing since then.

Korshunov had 75 caps for Russia, from 2002 to 2015, with 5 tries scored, 25 points in aggregate. He was the captain of the Russia side and was a key player in the team that achieved the qualification for the 2011 Rugby World Cup, in New Zealand, for the first time.
