We investigated the ionization structure of symbiotic binaries during their active phases. We found that a neutral disk-like zone around the hot star can be created as a result of its enhanced wind and fast, 200 - 300 km s−1, rotation. Calculated column densities of the neutral hydrogen atoms throughout the neutral zone and emission measures of the ionized part of the wind from the hot star are in a good agreement with those derived from observations.
