using python Selenium .text with russian letters

Question

I use selenium .text attribute to get some text from a div,

message_text = message.find_element_by_class_name("im_msg_text").text

and if I use

print message_text

I get:

'message_text': u'\u043a\u0430\u043a\u043e\u0439-\u0442\u043e \u0442\u0435\u043a\u0441\u0442'

The question is how can I convert it to normal string containing russian letters?

Try print u"{}".format(message_text) or use decoding.
