Serously? Fat?
The Super Ikonta is very complex. Do yourself a favour and purchase a copy of the service manual (some ebay sellers offer them), or it is rather unlikely that you'll ever return it to working order.
What Goran means is oil. In some Slavic languages the same word is used for oil, grease and fat.
Goran, you might want to try unscrewing rear element from the inside, than try to flood clean shutter blades, while exercising shutter, and wipe it off with cotton buds. If it doesn't work, then you will have to remove the front group, as well, and then flood clean the shutter.
You might want to take a look at this site, Goran. Not the same camera, but similar enough to get some good tips on what to look out for.

ps: Sorry, went back to look at the link, and found out it had nothing to do with the lens/shutter assembly, but at least is the same camera.

Oftheherd,
I have cleaned multiple shutters that way. It takes quite a few floodings and wipe offs to dissolve oil on the other side, but it is definitely doable. There will be splashes of it on interior surface of rear surface of middle group, that can be carefully cleaned up. Also, only blades should be flooded judiciously through the back. I have used Ronsonol in yellow container, gently squeezing through the nozzle straight onto the blades.
My pleasure.
