The
main objection to having
Vladimir Putin's man in the job
was that Russia often tries to
use Interpol to arrest blameless
critics abroad.

Is use of "To having" correct?

It seems correct.
Here we are expressing our objection 'to' something.
So, objection to is correct.
And when you ask 'what' do we object to, you get answer 'having Vladimir Putin's man in the job' , which is a clause.
So, you have to see sentence like ---> object to 'clause'
Hence, the sentence seems correct.

Thanks a lot. I couldn't comprehend such simple sentence which makes me look stupid after you simplify it effortlessly.
