URL decode UTF-8 in Python

In Python 2.7, given a URL like:

example.com?title=%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B2%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B0%D1%8F+%D0%B7%D0%B0%D1%89%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B0

How can I decode it to the expected result, example.com?title==правовая+защита?

I tried url=urllib.unquote(url.encode("utf8")), but it seems to give a wrong result.
