Summary/Abstract: The article analyzes the features of development and the main vectors of transformation of the historical Indonesian memory within the framework of the public historical and educational organization “Jejak Islam Untuk Bangsa” as one of the segments of the cultural trend in the modern Muslim Ummah. It is shown that the activity of Muslim intellectuals is comparable with the role and contribution of secular agents of historical politics and actors of memorial culture. The author analyzes the directions and features of mutual dependence and complementarity of Muslim and secular forms and versions of collective memory. The author analyzes the perception of the collective memory of the Ummah by Muslim intellectuals through the prism of the development of images of Indonesian history in secular and Islamic contexts. Particular attention in the present article is paid to ideological contradictions, which are not only relevant for the current stage of development of the Ummah and the community of Muslim intellectuals, but also form different and parallelly developing modes of the historical memory of modern Indonesia. It is shown that the model of the collective memory of the Ummah in particular stimulates the development of the politics of memory in general, actualizing the tendencies of the sovereignization of the history of Islam in Indonesia. The article shows how and why various forms and versions of the collective memory of Indonesia are formed and developed, constructing through the prism of Islamic values. In general, it is assumed that historical politics generates various collective memories legitimized by different memorial cultures, including the attempts of Muslim intellectuals to form their own memory as a universal model for describing their own community in particular and the political experience of Indonesia in general.
