How do i convert this string to a normal utf-8 string

Question

i have a string like that

"\u041b\u0430\u0440\u0430 \u041a\u0440\u043e\u0444\u0442: \u0420\u0430\u0441\u0445\u0438\u0442\u0438\u0442\u0435\u043b\u044c\u043d\u0438\u0446\u0430 \u0433\u0440\u043e\u0431\u043d\u0438\u0446"

This is the name of the film "Tomb Rider" but it is Russian, i need to convert it to a normal Russian string, which will be looks like "Лара Крофт".

These are Unicode characters, if you wish to decode them in javascript you should remove the leading \u and then utilize String.fromCharCode(parseInt(unicodeVariable, 16));

You can replace all instances of '\u' using REGEX or string literal approach, below is the latter.

var str = "\u041b\u0430\...\u0446"
str.split("\u").join("")

Just splitting and joining only works if there are no other characters. For your string, this answer can be used as-is.
