We investigate non-LTE effects in the hydrogen recombination zone of Long-Period Variables of Mira type. We propose that the Balmer hydrogen emission lines could be formed in this deep layer. We show how the spectral cyclic variations of Miras could be mimicked with this interpretation. As a result the radius of a Mira in the Balmer transitions could be much smaller than its radius in the molecular absorptions, which are formed in higher layers.
