A way of treatment of evolution of common envelope binaries based only on the laws of conservation of energy and angular momentum is suggested. It is shown that the final configuration depends on masses of components and initial period of the system, and on parameters describing friction in the envelope, and mass loss by the system. Possible final stages for massive binaries are either a Thorne-Zytkow type object for initially close binaries or a Wolf-Rayet star in pair with a relativistic compact remnant for wider ones. In the course of disruption of the latter system with orbital periods up to several hours very high space velocity (up to 500 km/s) pulsars can arise.
