The analysis of the recent phylogeographic studies of Microtus arvalis is carried out to establish the post-glacial history of colonization of the common vole in the Central region of Europe. The authors have presented the original data on the genetic variability of the mt Cytb gene of the common vole (Microtus arvalis s. l.) from 18 localities studied on the territory of Belarus. The genetic characteristics of 53 individuals of the common vole belonging to one eastern line of mitochondrial DNA
