metadata.value: The Berber question in Algeria, which history goes back to the colonial period, now draws
  increasing attention to itself. The international media, illuminating the Berber question, inclines
  to conclusions about the real danger of a split in the society and the possible secession
  of some regions with high Berber population density. The article reviews the reasons for the
  occurrence of the ideas of Berber regionalism and autonomism. It also estimates the risks of
  such events for the integrity of contemporary Algerian society. The author analyzes the degree
  of disunity of modern Algerian society on the basis of the national-ethnic principle and comes
  to the conclusion that the Algerian society is sufficiently consolidated. The Berber identity
  today is built on the attitude to the general social and economic problems existing in remote
  regions. The author suggests that the Berber issue aggravation is connected with the desire
  of the Algerians to draw the authorities’ attention to the problem of marginalization of the
  country’s peripheral regions. The author concludes that the radical manifestations of Berberism,
  such as, in particular, Kabylian Autonomism and Separatism, are assessed as a threat to
  the integrity of the modern Algerian state not only by the Algerian authorities but also by the
  general public. At the same time, the Berber question in its broadest sense meets tolerance and
  sympathy in the Algerian society. In this article, we used the scientific literature in the Russian,
  European and Arabic languages, as well as Algerian media sources of recent years.
