It is shown that behind the shock front in the shell of an infrared star, thermal instability conditions are fulfilled, which results in fragmentation of the medium. In the clouds thus formed, conditions for ignition of OH and H2O masers may be fulfilled. The 1612-MHz spatial structure of OH sources in NML Cyg and VY CMa is discussed, as well as the problems of the pumping mechanisms of OH and H2O masers. The peculiarities of microwave spectra are briefly considered.
