    Yep, InDesign documents can have just one index. But there are various workarounds. The simplest is to mark up the second index by adding a prefix in the sort-order field such that items with that prefix are placed at the end. (In a Latin-script index you’d use the prefix ‘zzz-‘.) Technically you still have one index, but when you generate the index all the prefixed items are together at the end of the index. All you need to do is add a title.

    Another, more elaborate, way to do this is to create two topics, say, “Cyrillic 1” and “Cyrillic 2”, and add topics of either index as subtopics under the relevant main topic. When you generate the index, the level-1 topics (Cyrillic 1 and Cyrillic 2) are in effect the titles of the indexes, and the level-2 topics are in fact level-1 topics. It’s easy to style them correctly in the paragraph style definitions.
