In principle corruption is a linked to capitalism, because capitalism implements free competition. It is not question about is the competition really free, but we have to pretend it, because people have to believe it to keep wheels rolling. In countries where the property rights are weak, like in socialism and also in Russia, corruption is not a similarly relevant thing.
Edit
EU is all the time sloping towards weaker property rights, not in jure, but federation taxation gives oppotunity to give finacial support to national companies. France is supporting this idea. But USA also do it. In a big run this means more income redistributions.

Well, I cannot speak for the Soviet Union, but I'm quite sure property rights were strong in former Yugoslavia, since people were allowed to own their homes, probably for the same reason why smaller firms weren't owned by the state. As for the corporations that were owned by the state, they were still managed and directed by the workers, in proportion to their professional role. This also made it less focused on administration and such because you didn't have to sell/buy companies. You could instead focus on your field. When these corporations earned profits, the sum was allocated first to Belgrade (which is what many people disliked) and from there put into social security, public institutions etc.
The Soviet union was also much larger than Yugoslavia, so obviously there would be more of these apartment blocks in the Soviet union. But I do not know that much to speak about them.
In former Yugoslavia, an example could look like this:
your parents work at a corporation, and that corporation owns some apartments that are meant to host their workers, if they have worked for say 10 years, after that company they will get the full ownership of that property. Parents paid for their kids' education too.
