How to save Cyrillic in sqlite3 in Bottle?

Question

Python

Hello!
Mastering Bottle.
According to the instructions from this site, I am analyzing the creation of a ToDo sheet.
Site with example
Archive in code at the bottom of the page on the site.
Faced a problem.
Everything that is written in Cyrillic is not saved in the database.
Forcing the encoding does not help.

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

I'm getting this hat.
