What is the purpose of this part?
The front end of this part contacts with one spring and by turning the focus ring this spring make some noise.
Can I use the lens without this part?

It is aperture control. Yes you can remove that part. Photos will follow later.

It's not the apperture controle, it's the part which is coupled with focusing part of Kiev 4. What adapter are you using?
It's usefull if you're using Kiev camera, since it make the focus able to be controled from the camera body. If you're using other camera, I guess it's not usefull, but still a pity to remove/shave it.

Actually, it is quite easy to remove it. It does nothing and is connected to other parts of cameras via spring.
On attached picture, you can see such lens adapted to minolta AF (with WORKING AF!)

The glass assembly of Jupiter 9 with aperture is solid piece, which just screws into helicoid/lens body. Some russian user discovered that it has huge similarity with Minolta 35-70 kit lens, so you basically unscrew the minolta glass parts and aperture, and screw in Jupiter 9 assembly. Sure, aperture is still manual, but AF perfectly usable.

Hmm, I have the 35-80 kit lens, which is optically junk, you might have given me an idea.

It might be different from 35-70.
I have minolta 35-70, and compared to sigmas/etc of same power, it is great.
