No, you have a list of strings:

>>> list_of_strings = [u'\u0105\u017c\u0119\u0142\u0144']
>>> print list_of_strings
[u'\u0105\u017c\u0119\u0142\u0144']

When a list is printed the individual items are converted to strings with 
repr() to avoid ambiguous output e. g. for strings with embeded commas.

If you want human readable strings print them individually instead of the 
whole list at once:

>>> for string in list_of_strings:
...     print string
...
