(the first such honor) to the achievements of (Ukrainian) science


Explanation:
Trying to put it into normal sounding English . . . Maybe there's a more direct way of translating "сокровищницa" in its meaning of "Совокупность каких-л. культурных, духовных ценностей" (Efremov), but I can't think what it is. "Treasury" most often refers to a place where currency or items of high monetary value are kept

agree  James Vail: Or you could use "annals" and rephrase the sentence as in "the first such honor to be placed into the annals of Ukrainian scientific achievement."

  -> "Annals" is good. Why don't you suggest it as a separate answer.
