Is there really a Russian myth about Solenya, the pickle man?

Yes.
In Russian folklore, Solenya is a Pickle Man who dwells in the pantry and stealthily eats pickles from their jars. He stays away when he’s full or when there is no pickle left in any jar. Then he takes out more to eat until they are all gone, but does not actually help in preparing foods for dinner.
He only appears while working during nighttime and hides during daytime as his face makes children cry out of fear of seeing him again until another night fall with new cans of pickles to be consumed by the callous and voracious creature.
